Hi, Chris!  You would have thought it was winter here yesterday.  Very cool 
and wet and windy.  More like November than June weather, with the temp 
only climbing to 9 celsius.  Today is more summery with seasonal 
temperatures.  But to get back to the matter at hand, SIBC is normally a 
very easy catch here as well, especially after about 1000 to sign-off at 
1300.  SIO can be as good as 5-5-5, but more usually 4-4-4.  Rebelde is a 
nuisance when on due to it being a pretty grundgy transmitter, with lots of 
adjacent splatter.  As for Pidgin, I kind of enjoy hearing the 
language.  Sure is easy to follow the gist.  Entertaining to my 
ears!  Cheers, and hope the winter isn't too bad for you folks down 
under!...........Walt.
