Chuckle, point taken. I don't watch very much of it these days, but
spent from 1963 to 2002/06/30 keeping several tv stations on the air in
engineering positions up to Chief Engineer from 1977 on to retirement.
This was not pushing paper, but getting my hands dirty fixing anything
that broke. I have what used to be a 1st phone, till the commission
threw us under the bus and gunned it away, but the most impressive card
in my wallet yet, is a C.E.T. card. Certified Electronics Technician.
Registered in Nebraska as #116 in the state. Several of the state
schools have programs that culminate in taking the test but few actually
pass, IMO from inadequate teaching staff. When I went to test in 1972,
I never cracked a book, walked in cold & walked out with a Journeyman
level card since my electronics history in 1972 was already 24 years in
the field. They give 4 hrs to do the test, I had an upset tummy, likely
from that years flu, so I was on the throne 3 times in about the 1:30 it
took to fill in the blocks for 125 questions. Handing in the test
sheets, the profs eyebowes went up an inch as he didn't think any one
could do it that quick. Said you have lots more time & I said I had
work to do and that was as good as I could do on short notice. The went
up another inch when he dropped the grade check sheet on it and only 2
weren't black.
I have in the past, had fun with the frogs (with EE's on the office wall)
standing around telling me it can't be done, while I am busy doing it.
The looks on their faces when they understand that I did do as I said,
and it worked, was like Mastercard, priceless. But today, thats just
living in the past, darn it. I never dreamed I'd live this long, but it
sure was a fun ride when my body was able to enjoy it.
Best Regards, Deloptes.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
