Hello. Name is John.
I took my first novice test in 1987 with good friend Steve KB6VQV
where he passed, and I failed the code. The test was administered
by Willy, W6CKV and his XYL Jacquelyn, W6YKU in Paradise, Ca. The
following week I am back up at Willy’s and his XYL where I passed
and received my Novice license KB6VRS with Tony KB6VRT. After couple
weeks Steve and I upgraded to Technician class. About 1990 I upgraded
to General with another good friend Mike KC6YMF in Chico with the
Golden Empire Amateur Radio Society (GEARS). In 1994 I upgraded
to Advanced class in Chico with GEARS again. Moved to Texas in 1996
I soon applied for the vanity call KE5RS. Finally, in 2003 I upgraded
to Extra in Austin.
I work for the 3M
company in Austin chracterizing high speed Interconnects, cable
and/or assemblies.
