So, like you want me to sit at the rig with magnifying glass and observe the
meter with 5% accuracy?
Reports became largely redundant, most people chose to 59 them, but nobody is
stopping you from using accurate report. . .

It's lots of fun to jump into a DX contest for a while and give honest
RST reports. Totally blows the other guy's mind. I suspect most can't
even figure out a way to log it. I'm sure Yuri would get a big kick out
of folks doing that to him during a hot contest.
