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.
