Greetings!

I've always been interested/fascinated with electronics. It was thrilling to witness the transition from slide rules to calculators in school, then to watch the battle between TI's Algebraic Operating System and HP's Reverse Polish Notation for dominance in the calculator world.

I enlisted in the US Air Force in 1978 as an ATC ground radio repairman. Retired early in 1995. During that entire span, I only performed the job for which I was trained just one year. Got my first experience had soldering...
