confirm that you have solid communications in the first place, just make the

running CTCSS decode. you hear a click, and that's it.
Kerchunkers are just a part of life when you run repeaters, basically.

Legally, you should be identifying by giving your call. But, that is
inviting a conversation with whoever hears you. One of the repeaters
here has a ham who hangs around constantly. Sometimes I chose not to
talk to him, but just want to check and see if the repeater is on the

My thoughts would be... let it be. Do NOT let anybody know it may bother you.
If they know it bothers you, they will keep doing it.
As a long time ham I do kerchunk repeaters, especially my local one. Why?

Your kerchunkers are most likely licensed hams.
This is an issue as old as repeaters. It's illegal to kerchunk without ID-ing,
but there's not much you can do about it. Is the repeater PL access? Use decode
