What do you do for a living?

Not sure what he means but unless there really are stacks of radios, it's probably an 'antenna farm.'

I used to have a bunch of different receivers in my car - CB, scanner, something else. It might come to me.

They each need their own antenna, so beside the cables hanging from everywhere, I had at least 3 antennae mounted on the rear - an antenna farm.

Radio farm is a term for a single site which has multiple radio stations in it. We had one broadcast tower for AM and transmitted a few miles away to other sites with FM broadcast towers.

AM towers are interesting. The whole tower itself is actually the antenna. Don't want to touch it.

Really interesting how soil moisture and composition affects transmission. It's a neat science for sure. Hard to believe that post was so many years ago.

A blast from the distant past . . . back when we still had fur (some of us still do hehehe).

I'm retired. I think of it as a "calling" though.

Thinking of taking a college class in Sept. Python maybe. Not sure.

i hadn't written any python for 20 years but just started using it again recently. it's growing on me.

Retired?! Dude's here are talking about being retired…?

I'm not going to work anymore but I'm sure as hell not retired. I ended up being the GC for all the home improvement projects around here. Vehicle maintenance for my loser cruiser wheelchair van. Wheelchair maintenance itself from my wheelchair and my mother-in-law's unit. Oh yeah, who could forget swimming pool troubleshooting and repair!? I'm fucking tired…

Gardening and doing yardwork is the only peace I get around this place!

Whatever… this was me in the parking lot of LFT back in the day when I started my career.

I'm a retired airframe and power plant technician. I started out in the early 80’s at this company, PHI as a mechanics helper chasing broke-ass helicopters all over the Gulf of Mexico absorbing every bit of technical information about every aircraft in our fleet.

I passed my FAA certification 18 months later and was promptly recruited by a competitor & assigned to my own Bell 206L-1, N5748W on an offshore oil & gas rig, HI 571. Dream job in dream location…?

30 years later and several corporate, regional, and private operators later I finally had to hang the wrenches up after I was diagnosed with MS.

I still had to pay the bills and raise two freeloader kids so I started a sub S corporation selling aircraft parts over the Internet and an LLC repairing the hydraulic systems on the local cable company trucks replacing all the dial up with cable.
