RE: [Repeater-Builder] GROL - benefit?

[Tony lelieveld]

I remember years ago there was an article in an “MRT” magazine about a TV station owner who had a ham working for him as a tech.  While travelling to an out of town location to do a remote, they had lost the feed-horn from a link dish.  The owner stated “the tech made a temporary feed by taking a piece of coaxial cable stripping the insulation back, folding the braid and center conductor to create a dipole and used it”  It saved the day.  He again said “whenever I get a job applicant and if his/her resume shows being a HAM operator guess what”   Just goes to show you that it does have value.   Tony VE3DWI   It may not have any official benefit to many jobs, but it certainly can be an advantage as an additional factor on a resume.  This also applies for an amateur radio license.  It demonstrates that you have an interest in radio and have the ability to learn about a subject and pass an aptitude test.  It may just be what gets you the interview, but probably will not what will get you the job.   73, Joe, k1ike Yahoo!
