Bob Schneebeli ---- W3EOP
Monday thru Friday from 12 noon to 1pm
Sometimes you hear me sometimes you
don’t.
I started out in ham radio in 1969 and with the help from my
Elmer,
Charlie, I was able to get my general license a short time later. My call sign
was WA3NVZ
After my Elmer passed away a few years ago, I wanted to take his
call sign. When I finally saw it on the vanity call sign list, I changed my call to W3EOP.
My yard is full of antennas. I have a beam,
a 160 thru 10 meters dipole, a 40 meter
inverted V, and an 80 thru 10 meters vertical. My neighbors think I am talking
to Mars or a spy for the US.
I have worked as an auto mechanic and, for 16
years, I owned a small repair shop at my home in Saylorsburg, Pa.
When I
turned 70 years old in April of 2005, I finally decided to retire (the wife
still works). But she is getting ready to retire very soon and then we want to
do a little traveling.
When I am not on the radio, I do a little gardening, like
to fish, and look at all the pretty girls at the seashore (when my wife is not
with me), haha.
