New job, new watch :-)

[deano42]

Hi all

After what has seemed an eternity the unit I work in has been spun off (actually took 6 months) from Microsoft.

We have a new owner: LINE corporation (http://line.me/en/), the folk who do the messaging and games.

So I thought since its a new beginning I should treat myself to a new watch (Q&D):



Been after a 39mm for ages, this seemed the perfect excuse :-)

(Late) Merry Christmas to you all.

Thanks
deano

Yep, TC TG3 so the fairest of fairies only toying with 5V. However I did do the HF Tx which can pack a punch :-0 and you.?

A colleague has one of those. A bit small for me, but very nice.

Sorry it was a bit cryptic.

In the RAF you have different trade groups (TG), generally the lower the number was more technical with the higher number for support personel.

TG 1 was all to do to with aircraft and these techs were called heavies.
TG 3 was ground techies, so airfield (AF), air defense (AD) and telecommunications (TC), who were fairies.

Typically radar and transmitters carry huge voltages and current, easily enough to kill you. Ibeing a TC I did work on transmitter but ended up working on ICT and other comms gear, so 5V stuff...

...so working on the lowest voltage put me as the fairest of fairies :-)

Thanks
