The SINPO system is the internationally accepted method of making reception
reports when writing in for QSL cards. SINPO is, of course, an acronym.
S = Signal strength
I = Interference level
N = Noise level
P = Propagation [how often the received signal oscillates]
O = Overall sound quality
For each of the above categories, report signal quality rated from 1 to 5 as
follows.
5 = excellent
4 = very good
3 = acceptable
2 = poor
1 = terrible
The category 'O', or overall sound quality is a summary of the other four,
but the rating for it may not exceed the lowest of the 'I' and 'N' category
ratings. For example, if S=5, I=3, N=2, P=5, then O may not be greater than
2.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
