Good advice. I'll add from what I have read and understood stations
prefer to have "plain english" for the quality of their broadcast
rather than SINPO or SIO codes

An example is, reception at 99999khz was good at xxxx-utc but fading
at times with some splashover from 99995khz (rather than a simple 222
or 23232 code). Signal became worse at xxxx-utc. Your other broadcast
on 99960khz was excellent with no fading, distortion, or interference
during the same time period. I was using a Radio Shack Dx-999 using 60
foot of random wire facing from Southwest to Northeast. Then give
details of the program. (frequency and radio fictional)

I get the impression they want as much detail as possible. That gives
them so more information than numbers which are subject to
interpretation. RCI was very appreciate that I gave a reception report
in plain English, they mailed me a very nice packet today via US
mail.

Cheers
