Nobody cares about the FCC tickets but the Gov't. The private industry
actually holds it against you because you have rules and they don't.
And I'm worn out from always being threatened by people with guns and
billy
clubs who's first instinct is to smash something if it seems
uncooperative.
Then there's the hams "bless their hearts" who put me out of business by
doing free work. Retirement is sweet but I'm dirt poor.


That is why I did not go into the radio business. Friend told me of a job
opening. I was making about $ 2 an hour more at the time and had a good
retirement package.
The job I was doing did not require any special license or anything.
Working for a large company as an electrician/instrument technician.
Did not have to have an electrical license as large companies don't
require it and neither does the government.


I got my FCC 1st in high school after working tobacco for one
summer. The remainder of my summer vacations were spent
tending AM/FM/TV transmitter sites as summer replacement.
Paid was good for a kid, and I didn't get dirty One of my first
interim "career" jobs was a field tech for RCA/Univac mainframe
systems. I'm not sure which career (broadcasting or mainframe
computer) careers faded into oblivion first. Both are rght up
there with coal delivery techicians and icemen.
