No lie,just a really GREAT place to find some peace,peace of mind and soul!! Maybe one day? I plan on it. My fascination all started with a friend of mine,in the mid 1970's,hell even the old Man had a C.B. in the family "BOMB"! A Pinto station wagon with NO A/C!! Damn HOT!! As I was saying,this Friend's older Brother had a Base Station and one HUGE antenna out back. I think it was just under needing lighting as there is and was the Reading,Pa. Regional Airport just across the Schuylkill River. We had fun,didn't hurt that they had an inground pool...L.O.L.!! We talked to anyone and everyone. Learned our 10 codes and spoke. We were out there,depending on the time of day,(SKIP,SKIP WAVE) ,and of course time of year. WOW,the YUKON,AlASKA,ALABAMA,and FLORIDA....that's the easiest to open the door to from S.E. PA.. Just good fun and kept us out of trouble.....sort of? We were still Kids. I have always just wanted to learn and My 33 PLUS tears in Telecom. has not hurt. A family owned business My Father started after Divestiture in 1983. We sold it in 2007,I worked for that company until 2010 and OUT!!!! They now have,not much,not even employees. Timing is everything. Just want to learn as I said. Sorry so long,just have the day off and am looking around. Yes,I am guilty also. Galaxies,North Stars (SUCK) , Connex, and others. linears,too many. a fortune in wire and fusing. All connections,SOLDERED,NO crimping,heat shrink,all tools countless Wilson antennas, an array of.....a lot. Just getting back into it and,I now see Stryker has come a LOOOOONNGGGG way!! They were trash about 10-15 years ago. nough. Got to run. Enjoy that room and YES,protect it!!!!  IT IS YOUR "MAN CAVE"!!!!, Sincerely,Troy.
