Warren T Reese (USA)
I am “TR” and worked from 1976 until the station KPH closing in 1997. The first 15 years as an operator, and the last 6 years as a transmitter technician. Following the closure of KPH, I spent 2 years at a broadcasting group in San Francisco (KOIT, KDFC, KZQZ) as assistant to the Chief Engineer where I maintained transmitters & studios. Following that, two years at Agilent Technologies as a micro-wave technician, and after that 2 years at KFS/KPH as a transmitter and receiver technician. This last station KFS/KPH bears the same callsign, but has no live CW operators, it is completely computerized. I am now retired at age 60, but may return to the workforce in another one or two years. I live in Eureka and my amateur callsign is WB6TMY. I am active in the National Traffic System (NTS) that is run by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) in the United States of America (USA). We still handle messages on CW !
