should take a good look at your calibration results.


=======================================

The calibration of S-meters, 3dB or 6dB per S-point, has nothing to do
with which antenna produces the stronger received signal. It is purely
a comparison. Just use the same meter throughout the tests.


It does allow me to make a stab at comparing those two antennas. As I
continue on this test, it would be nice to have something that has some
sort of calibration. Otherwise we might as well just go to say "works
great" or "doesn't work well for all measurements.
