I think signal reports are more politics or psychology than science. If
someone gives me 599 it's only good manners to send 599 back. It's just the
way I was brought up. :) If they send something other than 599 then I
realise that they are actually giving me a real report, so I try to give
them a real one back. But since signals can often vary from S7 to S9+20 over
the period of a QSO I think the idea of giving realistic signal reports is
actually unachievable anyway.
