Will we now be faced with windy discussions when giving a station a signal

Well, the true tinkerer in quest of "gnats eye" calibration would simply
calibrate his/her S meter with an accurate external signal generator.
Then, instead of telling someone they are S7, the person could actually give
them a DB report. Sounds silly? I remember so much spectrum and time be wasted
on 75 meters with folks arguing about S meter readings.
Of course we could simply query a station who gives us an S7, and ask how their
S Meter is calibrated.
This is all too technical for me...I'm still trying to determine how many angels
can dance upon a K3 power connector.
