[Elecraft] [OT] RBW of CW Skimmer?

[Fred Jensen]

We're all amateurs, RBN is a loose collection of amateurs all running 
various versions of various software with various radios, antennas, and 
systems.  I doubt seriously that the S+N/N reports are accurate and 
comparable in the engineering sense.  They probably are valid when taken 
relatively, over time.

I figure, if I called CQ once and he heard me, I must have been somewhat 
above the noise at his QTH. :-)
