Hello. Name is John.
I took my first novice test in 1987 with my 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 YL where I passed and received my Novice license KB6VRS
with Tony KB6VRT. After a couple weeks Steve and I upgraded to Technician
class. In 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. Moving to Texas
in 1996 I soon applied for the vanity call KE5RS. Finally, in 2003 I upgraded
to Extra in Austin.
I am retired from 3M
company in Austin where I was responsible for characterizing new product
high speed Interconnects, cable and/or assemblies.
3M Interconnects.
