At Mitre I was reorganized from a digital communications department to
a radio one, of which I knew almost nothing. The company accommodated
us transferees by having a retired British radar boffin teach the
amateur radio class. In return we helped him maintain his extensive
home installation. I was the ground-level assistant to the tower
climber.

And proud to be on the ground, no doubt?
