Just curious of typical signal strengths people are receiving and with what
kind of antenna and radio. I am using an Icom 718
with an indoor 30 foot random wire. I know, I know I'm going to put up a
better antenna but that's what I've got for now. By the way I'm in Texas.

I've generally found 'S' meter readings to be deceiving at times, as the 'S'
meters on all radios are not necessarily calibrated the same, and vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer, and even from radio to radio from the same
manufacturer.
