You're Occupation

[k0ews]

In reading these messages the past couple of weeks, I've gotten quite curious as to what some of you all do for a living. #It would be interesting to find out from just what walks of life we all come. #My question then, is what is your occupation, and if you are retired, what did you used to do? #Just curious. #As for me, I am a teacher, and I direct high school band, and have done so for 15 years. #I have my summers off, so you will tend to find me spending more time doing things like QRZ in the summer, but I do manage to keep up on things all year. #So what do you do? # http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Truck driver trainer for a trucking company that is 1 of top 100 on the Fortune 500 list?

With 23 years over the road experience (now retired) and 3 years as a Driver Trainer for Munson Transportation (Monmouth, IL) I am very curious as to what company this could be. Covenant maybe? I don't think JB hires trainees or trains them either for that matter. Schneider training drivers now? Star isn't 1 of the top 100 are they? I'm dying to know.

BTW, I was one of the first in the State of Illinois to get my CDL.

I run a computer repair shop now and I am happy. I can't say I was ever happy when I was driving.

When I had my consulting business, people would ask me what I did and I would tell them &quot;Anything, but the price varies.&quot; They would then ask what I meant.

I'd say &quot;I do engineering consulting for $150/hour, software development for $120/hour, and dig ditches for $500/hour.&quot; They'd invariable comment that I probably didn't get too many ditch digging assignments, because the price was outrageous.

I wouldn't exactly call it &quot;babysitting.&quot; I'd be very happy to be a babysitter for what I'm paid; unfortunately though I'm usually spending many of my hours each day trying to figure out what the latest &quot;how to get the cop&quot; game is.

I'm not complaining, it's what I do, and I do it well. But babysitting? I could only wish. Where I work has about nothing in common with a prison &quot;camp.&quot; Inside the wall is a very different world. It's like Detroit, where the weak are killed and eaten. And the rest, usually especially the employees, are just chewed up gradually over the years. Ask anyone who knew me before I took this job at the age of 19.

K6UEY,Retired from the Aerospace Engineering Business.
With the exception of a little 4 year stint for Uncle Sam in the USAF my time was spent in the San Francisco bay area, Silly-Con Valley.Some of the Satellites I worked on was the Courier Satellite at Philco's Western Defense Laboratory,OSCAR I, II. #I built the first tranmitter designed by Chuck Smallhouse W7CS (ex WA6MGZ) for the first OSCAR,also worked with Chuck to do all the calibration and envoirmental testing of the Temperature Telemetry onboard.Served as an assistant to the Director of Material, Dick Esneault W4IJC/6 of the Project OSCAR Association. Worked with Chuck Smallhouse WA6MGZ, and Nick Marshall W6OLO at Locheed Missles and Space to put the satellite package through it's complete space envoirment testing.
Worked on the proto type of the SMS weather satellite for Ford Aerospace co. installing the UHF and 2 GC antenna arrays. Worked with Doctor Matthews and Doctor Dietrich in the construction and testing of the antenna phase switching device to allow the SMS Satellite to lock on the sun and always have the antenna array's pointed at earth while the bird was spinning in space.
I spent some time working at the Stanford Linear Electron accelerator in the initial design and construction stages at Stanford University.
I spent a few years working for NASA at the AMES Research Center at Moffett Field Ca.working on the Biosatellite Program,a 3 phrase recoverable Satellite that took Plants, Rats, and Monkeys into space for a week at a time to study the effects of Zero gravity.
One of the ventures was to go up in a Lear Jet and go through a zero gravity experience to test a Rat Feeder to verify it would work at Zero G. On that flight was the photographer, the pilot and myself,I took along a Mototola portable tuned to the local repeater. I claim to be the first US Ham to operate Ham Radio while at zero gravity. We achieved zero gravity 17 times during that flight a most amazing experience.The zero and minus G's were not bad but the recovery and the positive G force were some thing less than enjoyable.The pilot would fly straight up then do a parabola over the top then straight down,over the top was zero G.
I spent some time at Granger Associates in the engineering lab developing a 900 mcs point to point data system used in the oil fields to monitor wells and send the data to the master computer.On another project at Granger I worked on a microwave telephone system for Saudi Arabia to be used across the desert for emergency communications.
At another company in Palo Alto, I worked on 1 KW TWT satellite up link transmitters for the country of IRAN,before the cocka-mainy took over the country.
I worked at a small company Microwave Modules and Devices in Moutain View ca, building in house designed 1 KW modules used in the Harris multi-KW TV transmitters
These are just some of the companies I have had the pleasure and experience to have worked at.All of this was made possible by getting bitten by the bug when I was about 12 years old,it is some times amazing what adventures lie instore for some one with a little curiosity and the drive to pursue the answers. If I was to do it over I would probably have asked for more money,but then the ex wife would have taken that too.It makes a big difference in ones life if you can do what you enjoy doing,and even better if you make a career of it....73, #ORV

Electrical engineer (bsee in '95, ms in '97), started out in semiconductors working for National Semi's fab plant in Arlington, TX. Then decided I'd try to make my hobby my job and moved into cellular. Been working it on and off since late 1998. Mainly system-level designing, some field work with optimization, and some light computer database type work maintaining parameters.

I'd still like to get into rf circuits somehow. Anyone with leads on a job?? http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

pyrotech!! sounds like a BLAST!.. neat job - even if part time.... I, personally, LOVE 'controlled' explosions.

Perhaps you heard, one of &quot;greats&quot;, the eldest Rossi, has died. The Rossi family are well known especially around here, for some nice pyro displays.

[N8CPA]

Are those the same Rossis who make the pasta in Marietta? If so, that explains why the Sternwheeler Fireworks are the best display I've ever seen.

They attract quite a crowd from up and down the Ohio and Muskingum Rivers. My first year there, seeing all the boats coming down Muskingum, I heard one old gent describe it as looking &quot;like the Normandy invasion.&quot;

By launch time, the confluence gets clogged with rafts of pleasure boats of every description. The USCG and WV River Police have a tough time maintaining clearance for commercial barges until after the display. It is just that spectacular.

and I'm TIRED!

(and yes.. before anyone thinks differently.. I wear hearing protectors, goggles to protect the eyes and a hat with a big brim to keep it little firey things from zorching my hair, ears, and neck.)


Nothing like the sight of the lit end of the fuse.. the slow delay. then the whooooosh-crummpp! of the mortar shell lifting off followed by the BANNNNNG! of the detonation!

Been there, done that.

Well, sorta.

Did my boom-booms, part time on weekends, underground, in hard-rock mining. Partner bored 'em, I placed 'em, and we pulled 'em together (ignitors.) Then a forced-leisurely climb up the ladder where we sat down on top and counted 'em. But the only audience was a small roadside cafe about a quarter mile away, where we would adjourn to let the dust settle.

Oddly enough, I don't much care for fireworks on my own, but I appreciate you guys and gals who do them professionally, as a good pro show is a lotta fun. But the amateur, back yard, stuff is not up my alley, especially here in extremely dry NM, where a spark burns dozens to thousands of acres.

Glad you enjoy it. Glad you do it. I watch those things but have no desire to do them myself.

Enjoy

My night job is the same as my day job, I embalm the dead. Well, after all, somebodys got to do it!!

Ever been alone at night in a funeral home, preparing a new arrival for the here after? http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

It can be a little freaky, but, then you just say to yourself, it pays the bills and hope the sprits leave you alone and the guest of honor doesn't suddenly sit up on your table and ask for a bud and a smoke!! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

Well now this reminds of a true story, this actually happened at my uncles furnal home.

My uncle being the jokester that he was, decided he wanted to see what it would feel like to be laid out in a casket. So, he took a casket that was waiting for a client and streched out in it. Well in comes this flower delivery felllow with some flowers for the client and asks where he should put them. My uncle sat up in the casket and said over there. Well this totally freaked out the flower delivery person, to the point that he dropped the flowers and ran out of the funeral home screaming. The flower person also forgot to leave in their delivery truck.

So, you see people who work at funeral homes have sense of humor too. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Yes, these babies come will all sorts of options, that are either pre-selected by the guest of honor or by the family at the time of need. Now as for a string and a bell, that's one we haven't had before. Now with a flask full of the departed's favorit sprit, yes.

Remember, the more you spend on a casket, the better the coach and warrinty. Some caskets now come with a 70 year waarinty. And a good vault is important too. After all you don't want any critters getting to your remains any time soon, do you?

WA2ZDY sed &quot;That sounds like quite a job. I'm thinking that that kind of distance must require some pretty precise dish aiming. How do you do it? (From a technical standpoint that is.)&quot;

The land station runs +33 dBm into a steerable 48&quot; dish at 3000'. The RV, Research Vessel, runs +33 dBm into a steerable 32&quot; dish. ~3° BW. The RV dish is constantly pointed at the land station as the RV moves around the bay via a PIC doing the math. The land station tracks the RV via signal strength. I also track our RV's on UHF as they travel around the bay and put it on a web site, along with the video from the microwave link.

I am a physician with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). I am an infectious disease specialist. It's like medical detective work and lots of HIV/AIDS these days, unfortunately. This has been my hobby (read escape) since I was 13 years old in 1953. My activity has varied over the years, but it always feels better when I am back. Much has changed since the beginning (when it was mostly CW, #AM phone, vacuum tubes, making Heathkits and surplus gear for me...a Collins rig was my dream). But it's still the best and most exciting hobby that ever was, by far. 73's:D

Yes, these babies come will all sorts of options, that are either pre-selected by the guest of honor or by the family at the time of need. Now as for a string and a bell, that's one we haven't had before. Now with a flask full of the departed's favorit sprit, yes.

Remember, the more you spend on a casket, the better the coach and warrinty. Some caskets now come with a 70 year waarinty. And a good vault is important too. After all you don't want any critters getting to your remains any time soon, do you?[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>
k9kww
The string and the bell on the caskets dates back to early 1900 and before. The bell was placed on a post above the grave and string ran into the casket. If the person should wake up and not be truly dead they could pull the string which would ring the bell and alert those around them of their condition.

Also for the person asking about the Aurora Casket in the picture. The Aurora and Batesville casket companies are both located in the state of Indiana and are two of the biggest sellers of caskets across America. Batesville is located in Batesville, IN with factories also in other states. They are also one of the biggest supplier of hospital beds in America.
