The "DX" has nothing to do with the amount of splatter and the

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?
It would only be worse because now you can hear the 100 radios.
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?
Only because you now can hear more radios. skip doesn't cause
splatter.
Take the same 100 radios that were causing splatter when the skip was
running (all stations running S9). Now move them all so they are
local to you (again all stations running S9). From what you have
said you believe the splatter is going to decrease ?
Well. It has been my experience that when skips
running, you will have more incidents of adjacent
channel splatter than when it's not. I'm sure "Skip"
is not causing it, but it sure does "Heighten" it.
Landshark
It doesnt heighten it assclowns think they need major watts to talk
skip,
so you are hearing hundreds more amp bozos with thier splatter boxes
cranked up the reason it is heightened is because they are giving you a
strong enough signal to splatter your reciever, listen carefully I said
it in a post about 1 day ago, take a guy in your area in a mobile
running
a 1kw class c splatter box, he is giving you 10+ on the meter and
tearing
your radio up, as he drives further away he is still using the splatter
box, why isnt he bleeding over as bad or at all now? Because he isnt
overloading the front end of your reciever now his signal strength is
down..
Very good George! I knew you had it in you.
Hey Randy, staying warm? I won't say that Geo's analogy is wrong.
Again, If you have one radio splattering ok, but when you have dozens of
radio's splattering, wouldn't the overload be worse than with just one
radio? Of course, then wouldn't that say that DX is helping the splatter
happen?
Landshark
No, the number of radios makes no difference. You'll hear the strongest.
What does matter is signal strength and selectivity. If the signal level is
low enough, you don't have splatter. The DX is only allowing the signal to
propagate farther, with less loss than normal. It won't make the signal
stronger. What you have to remember is, in the very small distances we are
talking about (thousands of miles), that radio waves do not degrade much in
what is almost a line of sight path. I realize the Earth is curved, but so
is the atmosphere, and at times it makes an excellent mirror. So, you have
basically taken normal attenuation for over the horizon and ground loss out
of the equation. That's why the signals can splatter with skip.
Oh, and it's in the 70's here now. Where the hell was winter?
