The fact that radio propagation sometimes doesn't obey the inverse
square is half the fun of amateur radio. I'm hard pushed to verify
it for light in my professional capacity.

Spike explained this nicely (thanks, Spike).

The question should have said the expected measurement.

True, that would have removed the ambiguity as I said. However, is it
not the case that the RAE is just the beginning of the journey, not the
end?

To draw on a suitable analogy from my own field, I wouldn't expect a
junior sysadmin to be thrown in at the deep end configuring live
servers from the ground up straight from passing, for example, the LPI
level 1. I would expect that person to know enough to not issue "rm -rf
*" in the root directory, though, which is analogous to the RAE
preparing the candidate for further "on the job training" whilst
ensuring that person understands enough not to wreck the spectrum for
everyone else.

I had the "Rubber Keyboard" taken off mine and a proper(?) one fitted. I
think it made it better for everyone else!
