I enjoy sending intelligence from point A to point B without wires. I
enjoy making spikes (not Xmas trees) on my FSH-313. My work involves
UHF FM transmitters of between 10 mW and 250 mW. These need to go
300-500 feet (flawlessly). This is very similar to my hobby (what I
enjoy). I can't believe they pay me to do this.
