W5JBO


Picture

I retired in 2010, from the Aerospace industry, after Forty Five years in my professional career of Electrical and Test Engineering.

Radio Contesting, DX'ing, Home-brewing, and collection / refurbishment of old tube radios has been another branch of the hobby,
 VHF & UHF Repeaters, Remote Bases are still a specialty.

In 2010, I decided to seek a call with my initials and obtained

W5JBO.
Previous Call-sign  WA6BOB  1966 - 2010

Amateur Radio has been and will continue to be my lifetime hobby.
