That's an interesting site. Does anyone know of a site that has
examples of signals at various SIO/SINPO ratings? I usually put down
some kind of rating in my logs, but I'm never sure if my idea of "barely
audible" is the same as anyone else's. It would be nice to have some
kind of example of various ratings from more experienced folks.

Here is some help from a perhaps dated guidebook issued by NASWA

Understanding Your S-Meter
DXing According to NASWA - 4th Ed. 1979
by Edward Shaw

Without a doubt the S-meter is perhaps one of the
most misunderstood pieces of equipment associated
with our hobby. The S-meter may be used by the
hobbyist to aid him/her in evaluating an incoming
signal.

Thanks, Chief. That does help.
