Ham Radio at Work

Yesterday I was in a business meeting with four other people all from
different companies. The five of us were sitting in a conference room
discussing the needs of a project when it was revealed that three of us,
were licensed amateur radio operators.

That might be a little less surprising given that we all work in
engineering but I still thought it an impressive assembly and odd
coincidence.

Thirty years ago my resume included a section for memberships. Among IEEE
and ISA I had included ARRL thinking it hardly relevant but at 27, my
resume needed a little fattening.

After I was hired for a job, my new boss told me that his decision had come
down to me and one other fellow and that, although we were equally
talented, he noticed that I was a radio amateur and thats why I got the job.

Then he said, welcome aboard, Im K4KXL
