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.

BINGO!!!!! And just becuase of the sheer numbers of
operators, legal or illegal the DX alone is helping intesify
the splatter, because "everyone is trying to get into the
feeding frenzy.

On the
other hand, especially on channel 6, there is always one or two
stations which stand out head and shoulders above the pack.

Maybe where you are, not where I live. Chaneel 17 & 19
have the most noice when skip is running.

You can
plainly hear his splatter on adjacent channels. Those are the guys who
I base my observations on.

Opinion, everyones entitled to one.


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.
