Rohn 25G 10' Top section on the roof, total antenna height 39'.It's much more exciting and gratifying as all the operators working you "push you" to new operating limits (increase CW speed, pile up handling techniques improve etc), thus making you a better operator, DX'er and contest operator. I enjoy contesting and chasing DX but would rather "Be the DX." If I had the choice, I would prefer to be on the other end of the pile up. Year First Licensed: 1986 with the help from the San Francisco Amateur Radio Club-W6PW novice class. The XYL’s water bag broke at the moment of his flat line, and she was 50 miles away not at the bedside and didn’t know until she called me about the water bag breaking-what are the odds?Īs far as Amateur Radio is concerned, here's the scoop. My father, Javier Sr, left this earth on November 9, 2004, a few hours before his first male grandson was to be born.
I graduated from Cal Poly in 1994 and I am currently 34 years old and have been in the telecomm industry since 1993 when I first got my feet wet at Nokia. I enjoyed doing "system work/network design & installation" and trouble shooting on a system level rather than at a component level. I also received an ASEET at Heald Institute of Technology in San Francisco prior to entering Cal Poly. I enjoyed being "away" from the US, in a foreign country, having to learn the language and upon returning to complete my degree at Cal Poly, I didn't want to have a typical engineering job right out of college. You can say I saw the world "for free" while working and enjoying the hobby and meeting many great hams and their families in my worldly travels.įor those of you wondering how I got into the king of job I am in and what helped me have the skills to be so "multi-talented," it is because I went to Cal Poly State University and studied Electrical Engineering-Telecomm and did a six month student internship at NOKIA transmission systems in Haukipudas, Finland. This experience in soo many fields gave me the opportunity to travel all over the world and operate ham radio as can be seen in the table of DXpeditions and operations found at the bottom of this web page. I specialized in Central Office Switching Systems, PABX, GSM, SS7, ISDN, BRI, Call Centers, Outside Plant, Fiber Splicing & Cabling etc. My former employers include Harris Communications, Ericsson Cables, NOKIA Transmission Systems, and while working for those companies, I traveled extensively.
Working for Cisco’s Americas International group, gives me MANY opportunities to travel within the America’s and build super networks and operate from remote locations, when time permits of course, if not, I sit back and enjoy the local attractions! I am now more into Metro Ethernet with the Cisco core group of Routing and Switching and a CCNA, CCNP and currently studying for my CCIE written exam, then the lab portion, eventually. I work for Cisco Systems and am a Network Consulting Engineer for the America’s International (everything south of the USA border) and work in the fiber optics field, specifically, SDH/SONET/DWDM and am deploying Next Generation Optical + IP networks with MPLS, Ethernet, Gig-E, 10Gig-E, SAN, VoIP and Video. I am living there with my wonderful wife, our two kids, Alexandra and Xavier. Currently, I am living in Petaluma, CA which is located about 60 miles north of San Francisco.
