In all my years of SWBC DX'ing I've never sent in a report using SINPO.

what format do you use? i guessed you have
a ton of QSL cards.

Tell them in your own words how their signal was. Strength,noise,propagation
etc...

Yes, I think SINPO is to subjective, that's why I never have used it.

Not a ton of QSL's though. I'm more interested in country count, but if a
'specialty' or commerorative QSL comes along I'm interested in those too.

My guess is that excluding some ham QSL's, I only have between 3 and 4 hundred
SWBC QSL's.

Here's a couple of log sheets that I made up for myself.

I have only used it with at least a breif description of signal integrity
but never by itself.

I rarely QSL anymore unless its something unique or I get a wild hair. I
have quite a few from my early days. I've been doing a lot of utility
loggings and just hunting around the bands for weird stuff.

Some radio stations issue to issue them as aerogramme.

http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/practica...rtingcode.html may help

Let us know if you find a good on line one as I would like to start
submitting reports (had a break of about 30 years!!).

well, i have been on the move most of my life. been to
64 countries. love to travel. i'm a member of the
Britannia club. seen the Sphinx, walked "the street of
1,000 women" in Turkey. spent 31 months in Nam. so,
been there and done that many time's. one of the few places
i didn't like was Paris. stinks; smells like an open
cesspool. really love Asian rim. hope to retire somewhere
around there. all i need is a roof, a warm ocean, and
women in thongs. been to a lot of places i listen too
on sw. traveled for Westinghouse in the 70s; nuke/mech
EE. was lucky enough to get a position with the largest
Japanese TV manuf when they opened a shop in W.Pa. great
people to work for. so, i still get to move around alot.
well, the last year its been mostly to San Diego and into
Mexico. had some bad times too. jungle rot on the feet.
that never really goes away. been shot 7 times. blown-up
4 times. crash landed 4 times in a chopper and once in a
light plane. also had malaria, that comes back sometimes.
etc. just love it. this lifetime has been a good one most
of the time. guess i'm just a throw-back to the early
explorers. questions???
friends call me Drifter cause i'm never, almost ever home.
W.Pa. ask the ex-wife...

I have been a rover; I have walked alone. Hiked a hundred highways,
never found a home. Still in all, I'm happy; reason is, you see,
once in a while along the way, love's been good to me.

Way to go mr. Drifter. It was only a year or two ago where finding a
seat in a Western Internet Cafe scenario was impossible. I find that to
be true in my travels too...in places like eastern Colorado.
I've been off the mainland for 18 years and have done all the malaria,
dengue, ballpoint pens don't write. Where are you posting from
nowadays? And have you come to the same conclusion as I have
