I took my FCC exams for First Class Radiotelephone/Ship's RADAR Endorsement at the San Diego FCC office. The fishing fleet had all the boats in port in the Fall. I did the repairs on the boats and base stations, then scheduled an appointment with the local FCC engineer to do the annual safety inspection on the boat prior to the start of the new fishing season in January. I had pretty good rapport with all of the local engineers and FCC admin staff. It was a professional relationship and I ensured all the work was done to a high standard. I would be extremely embarrassed to be the station engineer for my local Fox affiliate. BTW, it's an FM station. The AM transmitter in the Pocatello area was removed.

I had that 1st ticket in the late 70s.
