The "DX" has nothing to do with the amount of
splatter and the distortion a signal may have.

It has everything to with it. For the amount of times you professed to
having talked skip on the freeband, followed by recent denials of you
talking skip, you should know that on MANY occasion, a signal can be
severely wavering from an S1 to an S9 (for but one of many
examples),,,when that signal is coming in at an S9, the splatter may be
intense if you changed the channel and went one up or down. When that
signal is coming in on a wavering S1, you will hear absolutely nothing
on your next channel. Once again, the wavering is a direct result
of...taa daaa....skip.

You may not hear anything on the next channel because the signal may
not be strong enough or because of "selective fading" . Splatter is
caused by the modulation, it may or may not be intensified by skip.
But it is not caused by "skip" If you had a constant carrier(no
modulation), skip or not, you wouldn't have splatter.

He probably thinks that FM won't skip either......

On the contrary Dave, it does too.
