   EV>TW>I was an Interior Comunications Electricial and did the same thing on   
   EV>TW>a Submarine because of my Interenst in "Electronics". Which by the way   
   EV>TW>when I was in high School was called "Radio Electricity"   
      
   EV>Tom,   
      
   EV>In 1956 my High School had a Electronics class that I took before I   
   EV>could take the Radio I or II class.   
      
   EV>In Electronics, I learned Ohms Law and calculated the Voltage and   
   EV>Current in different circuits that we wired from schematics using the   
   EV>Large Wire Wound Resistors the teacher provided, and after doing the   
   EV>calculations we connected a 12 VDC storage battery to our circuit to see   
   EV>how close the VOM readings were to what we figured out on paper.   
      
   The Class I took in my Junior Year of High School(1947-48) was called   
   "Day Trade Radio". It was three hours per day where I learend all that   
   stuff plus more. Some in the class got their Ham Licences but the Code   
   baffled me so i had to be satisfied with the Theory needed only.   
   During the summer between my Junior and Senior i did get a job working   
   in a radio Repair Shop though.
