Reporting RST

[Chris SQ8LUV]

Hi guys,

I have one quesion, how do You report RST? I mean if the noise background is e.g.  S3 on S-meter, and Your fellow's signal is S8 (on S-meter) You say (5)89 or (5)59 (netto s/n?). Intentionally I mention only S-meter in this case.

Erm.... If the absolute value of his signal strength is 8, I say 589, if R and T are not impaired. Vy 73!
