Hey N5AFD! Good to hear from you! I'd probably recognize you immediately if I saw you, remembering the old AARC days. A lonnnggggg time ago! I'm not active on any of the ham bands and haven't been for some time. I need to get back into the swing of things.MustangGlocker wrote:Hey Joe, I worked for Fred and Larry for about 5 years back in the late 90's, early 2000's processing applications and have spent many hours with Gordo . Thanks to this thread, I now(vaguely)remember who you are. Recognize your call. I was once a member of the AARC a very long time ago and we've met on countless occasions at monthly meetings. I'm pretty much only on the radio during severe weather when I'm at the National Weather Service office working the nets in our county warning area.joe817 wrote:I was fortunate enough for THE W5YI VEC to give me a part time job grading papers at his house here. It turned into a full time job, and it was so much fun while it lasted.

They are still there. Larry actually bought the company when Fred retired so he's been running the show, with common sense for many years. He also got Fred's old call assigned to the VEC in memoriam so W5YI will live on forever.Hey *****! Good to hear from you!

I pass by the office(or where it used to be...I guess it's still there. The HF yagi is still up) several times per week. Brought back fond memories. Is Larry still there? He & I used to have used to have so much fun going to the regional hamfests in TX, OK, & LA while generating some pretty good income for the company. If the 'Pole' ( ) is still there, we ought to get together someday & pay him a visit!

Gotcha. I had a guy in his 60's teaching my class, so who knows if he was going off of old info. Either way, no thanks.n5wd wrote:Sorry for the late reply - things have been busy.AJSully421 wrote:FCC says the listed address must be where you are transmitting from. CoC #4.

Re: having to "transmit" from the location on your license.. You're quite simply wrong, or saying something you believe but is not correct.
It used to be, waaaay up until the middle 60's, that you either had to be where your license locationwas, or you had to transmit a notice that you were either mobile or portable in "X" call district. That went away when the feds dropped additional station licenses in the mid 60's. You used to could have more than one call sign, associated with a different location where you would be transmitting, but all thst was dropped over 50 years ago. Today, you do not have to say where you are if you aren't transmitting from your home station, and there are no requirements that you notify the FCC if your stationlicense address changes, as long as you still receive mail at your mailing address!
Good luck on your test if you haven't taken it by now. There are plenty of resources and repeaters in the DFW area to play around with. Hope to hear you on the air soon.The Annoyed Man wrote:FWIW, I'm studying for my Technician license right now.
