Icom IC-R20....is it any good as a shortwave receiver? Radio Guinée 965...

Hi there, here's another reception video with the Icom IC-R20. I have already established that the selectivity is poor due to the very wide bandwidth filter (12 kHz) but that it is very sensitive - appearing to be on par with my better shortwave portables - at least with a large antenna. Make your own mind up with this recording; there's a clear ID but the filter is allowing much adjacent channel QRM at times. Recorded in Oxford UK on 25/02/17 at 17:30 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching.
