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 speciality.
In 2010, I decided to seek a call, from the fifth district with my initials, and subsequently obtained through the vanity system
W5JBO.
Previous Call-sign WA6BOB 1966 - 2010
Amateur Radio has been and will continue to be my lifetime hobby.
