[600MRG] Definition needed - V/m

[Glen Zook]

It is the field strength measured at various distances from the antenna.  There are specialized receivers calibrated to do this.  These receivers use specific antennas, specific feed line lengths, and so forth.  The "S" meter is calibrated in the microvolts per meter.  I do have one of these receivers and special antenna.  However, it is for the 375 MHz to 1000 MHz range!

I am trying to get an accurate "feel" for the terms used in the Stoddart 
NM-20B manual.

It is my understanding that "microvolts/meter" means so many microvolts per 
meter of receiver antenna length. For instance, one would measure 10 
microvolts/meter RF field strength if a one meter long antenna had 10 
microvolts of "juice" on it at some particular frequency?

Am I wrong here?

Or is it microvolts per meter of distance from the transmittting antenna?

I am confused.
