Chapter 6 of the Ham Radio License Manual, on Communicating With Other Hams, left me with one burning question:

Have any of you ever "squirted the bird"?

@mightyspaceman According to the manual, it means communicating with a satellite. Surprisingly, there are more than 50 amateur satellites!

@peterdrake No, but I imagine a lot of people will be doing that for the first time next week. Squirting the birds is the #HamChallenge for week 10! Now that I have the proper idioms, I just need an antenna.
