-	'''SINPO''' is a method of evaluating a radio signal by rating Strength, Interference, Noise, Propagation, and Overall signal quality by giving each of these categories a value of 1 to 5, with higher numbers meaning better signal quality.

See also [[SIO]].	+	'''SINPO''' is a method of evaluating a radio signal by rating Strength, Interference, Noise, Propagation, and Overall signal quality by giving each of these categories a value of 1 to 5, with higher numbers meaning better signal quality. The five letters stand for the following qualities, graded on a scale of 1 to 5, where '1' means the quality was very bad and '5' very good.
		+
		+	* S - Signal strength
		+	* I - Interference with other stations or broadcasters
		+	* N - Noise ratio in the received signal
		+	* P - Propagation (ups and downs of the reception)
		+	* O - Overall merit
		+
		+	A perfect signal would rate SINPO 55555. Although this is a subjective measure, with practise the grading becomes more consistent, and a particular broadcast may be assessed by several listeners from the same area, in which case the broadcaster could assess correspondence between reports.
		+
		+	After listening to a broadcast, the listener writes a report with SINPO values, typically including his geographical location (called QTH in amateur radio teminology) in longitude and latitude, a brief description of the programme listened to, their opinion about it, suggestions if any, and so on.
		+
		+	The listener can send the report to the broadcaster either by post or email, and request verification (QSL) from them.
		+
		+	Variants of this report are:
		+	* a) the SIO report which omits the Noise and Propagation,
		+	* b) grading on a scale of 1 to 3 (instead of 1 to 5) and
		+	* c) the SINFO report where the F stands for fading.
