Tony, if you listen around 14178 enough you will soon learn that the big
guns are running the "legal limit" whatever that means. Several times, one
or more of the regulars has said that no signal under S9 can be analyzed
for sound quality and that a signal must be at least S9+20 dB in order to
be heard properly for a critique.

We little pistols with the 100 watts and wires just don't make it in that
league, but we can still have clean signals and enjoy ham radio.
