I've been involved in radio and electronics since 1973. I hold both a General Radiotelephone and Amateur Extra Class Licenses. I spent 20 yrs in land mobile and an additional 21 yrs as a RF Engineer with AT&T building Cellular networks. My wife and I own a nursing home and I do most of the maintenance. I get to work on all kinds of things from toilets to wireless medical devices. I have two beautiful granddaughters (ages 6 & 2) that I'm trying to encourage to be engineers.
