I’ve been interested in electronics since I was ten years old and wandered into a Radio Shack at the mall.\u00a0 In 1989, when I was 14, I passed my Novice amateur radio exam (KB9DTK) and then I passed my General and Extra in 2000 and became AD8BC.\u00a0 bravocharlie, the name of my blog, comes from the phonetics of the last two letters in my callsign.\u00a0 Which were based on my initials.\u00a0 That’s about as creative as I get.\u00a0 Don’t expect much more.<\/p>\n
I have worked for Siemens (or companies that they have purchased) for almost 17 years now as an industrial automation and controls engineer.\u00a0 I primarily design and program the controls for parcel and postal sortation systems.\u00a0 If you’ve ever shipped a package on a brown and yellow truck or a purple and white truck, I’ve likely had a part in getting it to where it was supposed to go.\u00a0 You’re welcome.<\/p>\n
This blog will have interesting stuff (well to me, anyway) about ham radio and electronics.\u00a0 Some of it may even be original!\u00a0 Much of it will be non-original things that I think are cool.\u00a0 You may or may not agree.\u00a0 Feel free to pipe in and let me know!<\/p>\n
