Hi Dave

The question of SINPOs is always interesting. In my opinion the SINPO is the best method of telling a station operator just how he is being received. A reading from an S-meter can often tell only part of the story.... if somebody gives a report of S9+20 then the station operator thinks he is doing very well. However, what if that listener has a local noise level of S9+10. That puts a totally different complexion on the matter, which is why I always give SINPO reports as they cover much more than signal strength alone.

And so on to your question. From your recording I would give Batavier 45434. The reading is very similar to yours, but I am a bit more generous with the noise. Maybe my ears just filter it out these days, but I couldn't hear a great deal - more background noise than anything.

A nice recording. You'll have to send some over for the next MW Pirate Review.

I am attaching a recording of Radio Casablanca that I made recently. I wonder what you give this one Dave?

Cheers
David

Haha, all this SINPO designation, I find it difficult to do.
Maybe I should follow one or the other workshop at Wizards of WireUK's place.

Haha Boomi... but with your signal we don't need sinpos or S-meters or anything. It is always perfect

Brilliant recording there Wizard .... There is more noise on my old FM Hi-Fi
