Julie...

Good signal report. Wanna trade antennas? I'll probably be putting up a
decent antenna in the next few weeks but it will be an indoor attic antenna.
I'm sure it will still be worlds ahead of what I have now. Maybe I'll
compare the two just for laughs. Obviously though, a 30 foot random wire
will do the trick in a pinch.

Your right... It's just a rough measure.

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.
