From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_meter
"IARU Region 1 Technical Recommendation R.1 defines S9 for the
HF bands to be a receiver input power of -73 dBm. This is a level
of 50 microvolts at the receiver's antenna input assuming the
input impedance of the receiver is 50 ohms.
For VHF bands the recommendation defines S9 to be a receiver
input power of -93 dBm. This is the equivalent of 5 microvolts
in 50 ohms."
