[ecpeters]

I am a power tech Supervisor after 28 years of hands on work for the phone company here in New Jersey. I have been to power engineering training as well as many advanced trouble shooting schools. I help to maintain the rectifiers, inverters , converters & battery back up systems we use to provide phone service.

 

[Rman]

I've got a pretty broad background in electronic tech side of things. Learned most of it from the military, F16 avionics backshop tech. Have had some jobs in PMEL electronics calibration and repair. The really fun part to me is ATE, blending computers and software design with electronic troubleshooting and application, pretty fun stuff to me. I live in Farr West, Utah... work out of Hill AFB, the F16 depot. I'm a reservist at Hill too, F16 avionics.

[apkole]

Gradumacated from der IT&T Electronics Engineering Technology program - Worked for Rowe International on jukebox and bill changer circuits. Lots of fun trying to let the smoke out of electronics components while designing amplifier circuits. Two years of 1-800 phone lines trying to help field techs and frustrated coin op car wash owners. Moved on to other things, but still have a Tek 100 Mhz analog storage scope and my trusty Fluke 77. And seem to have recurring nightmares of Smith Charts . . . . .

 

[NETim]

Learned the trade waaaay back in '75 courtesy of Uncle Sam and his Navy. I was an ET aboard a Spruance Class destroyer. I maintained crypto, HF/UHF comm gear, MATV systems and video games.



Nowadays I keep MRI's and cat scanners up and runnin'. Been doing that for about 19 years now. I had a brief hiatus of about 18 months working for the Post Office maintaining mail sorting equipment but that job sucked very badly and fortunately I was able to return to the medical field.
