What does your screen name mean?

Back in the early 70s & later, Metricman was my CB handle.

I was working on foreign cars at the Sunoco service station I managed.

Very interesting, K2MFW. If this is your original call sign, I expect that you have been a ham since the 1950s.

I got my first license KN5KKN in the 9th grade in 1956 and got K5KKN, the next year by passing my General exam. Then in the late 70s, I passed my Advanced exam. As the years wore on, I my work in corporate photography used up my time and I became inactive.

A side note: When we moved from Oklahoma to St. Louis, I had to get a zero call sign, WA0WAI, and had both until the FCC made you choose, so I kept the K5KKN since it was my original. I keep it renewed because I am attached to it and don't want to lose it. Maybe I will have it on my tombstone as well. ..... Maybe...

Really?

Its who I become when my family is threatened!

Basically just a native Clevelander now living in Lancaster County PA and hope to be an AZ resident someday soon...

So I've used archae86 in many places that customarily use screen names rather than real names for a couple of decades. I've looked a few times and have not yet spotted a use by anyone other than by me.

I was one of the four design engineers on the 8086 microprocessor starting in 1976. The "86" is a reference to that, and Archae gets two relevant meanings:

original
old

I was also the leader for a few design revisions on the 8086 that pushed it up in clock speed and put it onto a later generation production process.
