Clip #1: Radio Rossii on shortwave with a man in russian talking about something, unfortunately, not understanding the language, I can't tell you what he's saying to the presenter. I give this a SINPO rating of 34343. Overall, reception was around the mid point of Fair.. not good, but not bad.
Recorded at 1038UTC on September 11th, 2016 in Galena, Alaska (rural central Alaska) using a 225 foot long wire oriented to provided east/west pick up directions along with a Tecsun PL880, DX Engineering HF PreAmp and EmTech ZM2 Antenna Tuner.

I rate this overall as good because of the strong signal and overall high listenability signal/audio quality wise. If it weren't for the slight fading and noise, this would be nearly a 55555.

I give this a SINPO rating of 44344. There was a fair/moderate amount of fading and noise but it was overall very listenable.

I would give this a SINPO rating of 44343. This signal was on the lower side of good but the overall quality was the higher side of fair due to the fading, noise and slightly low modulation.
