The only effect that "DX" may have is heterodyning of co-channel signals. In any case, when my observations were made, the "DX" was not running heavy enough that a clean sample of any particular transmission could not be made. Ummm, no Dave. DX has everything to do with DX splatter. The only thing DX has to do with DX splatter is that if "DX" isn't running you wouldn't hear it. Probably, but if you have a 100 radio's and a third of them are running their modulation clipped, then you will hear it even worse, correct? Splatter or out of bounds emissions are those falling outside the normal bandwidth of a signal and are the result of modulation. Correct DX doesn't cause splatter it allows it to propgate farther. Correct. When you have a lot more radio's trying to talk on one freq, don't you think that it will now increase your adjacent channel splatter? Ok, so if I understand you correctly, you are now making the case that I cannot identify the exact station which is creating the splatter due to the sheer number of competing stations. Ok, you have a valid point in some cases. In many cases all you have is combined "noise", and it's impossible to distinguish any one individual. On the other hand, especially on channel 6, there is always one or two stations which stand out head and shoulders above the pack. You can plainly hear his splatter on adjacent channels. Those are the guys who I base my observations on. Remember, I never said that *all* the stations on channel 6 are illegal, just the loud and proud ones. Then there is also the issue of aggregate signal differences. If the average noise/signal level on most of the 40 channels is running around S8, and while on channel 6, it is +10db over S9, that suggests that the average power level of the users there is at a higher level than those on the other channels. Skip doesn't favor any one channel (in a band as small as the CB band) over another so the conditions should be the same on all the channels. Dave "Sandbagger" |
