The only thing I've found effective against kerchunkers if to DF them, then, after a club meeting, get a dozen guys to park in his neighborhood and kerchunk him on the output of the repeater...
;^) I remember in the early days of my 440 machine in Orlando, before it got discovered, it was so quiet I actually found myself looking forward to the first kerchunkers. I'd answer with, "Who's the station calling? This is AE4KR, Orlando." I actually made a couple new friends that way. 73, Paul, AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: Nate Duehr To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 12:24 PM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Kerchunk Your call + "testing" is fine. If a kerchunk is good enough for you to confirm that you have solid communications in the first place, just make the transmission legal and if someone replies, great. If they don't, fine too.
