Kerchunk

Amateur Radio, a user of a radio set will key their microphone usually multiple times into a repeater (a special high power radio relay tower that allows many people to talk on one frequency) in doing so it annoys other users and in severe cases it can make the repeater difficult or impossible to use. The FCC frowns on kerchunking and chronic kerchunkers can find their ham radio licenses suspended or revoked

Repeater Owner: **** Dave is kerchunking again, I can barely get a word in on the repeater
Technician: Probably time we sent a letter to the FCC.
