For the low bands, I typically listen on my receive antennas. S meter readings

I'd estimate it might be 4 or 5 S units down from the true signal strength. I 
never use the S meter reading when giving reports. If I did most would be 
between S0 and S3. Instead I judge based on what I hear and how well I hear it. 
Not meant to be a judgement on how others use the S meter. Just how I use it 
here.
