Marianne Mäder (Switzerland)

I  was  born  and  raised  in   Bern/Switzerland.  After   secondary  school,  which  I finished in 1974 I started a commercial apprenticeship from 1976 to 1979, which was followed with the second apprenticeship  at   Bernradio/HEB.   Successfully finished this training in spring 1982. I then worked   as   a radio operator at Bernradio/HEB for the next eleven years, then changed back into the commercial sector, becoming the billing   officer   for  the   mobile   services   of   Bernradio/HEB  and Bernafunk, the aeronautical  radio  station.  Left   this  position   finally   in January 2005, when the operated station was terminated and changed into a solely automatic station. During all   this   time   I   still  kept  working   at   the  station   for   weekends and holiday replacements. The picture was taken on the last evening shift on CW at HEB.
