Working life
Started at a bank, but my love for electronics was too strong. I studied for a few years and graduated at the academy as an electronics engineer. Then I worked at the RCD the Radiocontroledienst was the Dutch equivalent of the FCC), nowadays called AT (Agentschap Telecom). Upon today I'm the most proud of this job where I got known and experience with every thinkable way of transmission. At the RCD almost every thinkable transmitter is measured, from mobile (e.g. land, aeronautical and maritime communication including radar) to broadcast. Of course Ham equipment as well including solving problems with EMI - RFI - TVI - BCI in accordance with Dutch law. After several years I became a specialist in EMC. One of the components of my task was supervision at the CE quality mark according European determined technical regulations (EN standards). Afterwards I did several different jobs like our own retail store and a lunchroom, government inspector water infrastructure, benefits counselor at a gorvernment agency, and so on. Nowadays I'm working at a company in pest control for more than a decade where electronics are applied more and more. With the use of wifi networks and specially designed devices it's possible to monitor any form of nausance.
