I figure that most if not nearly all that are active now weren't around when I first joined the site though I am friends with an old member off the site. I first joined when the site was new and I was an inhouse installer for Dish back when it was a single lnbf and receiver setup and you would buy the equipment from Sams Club or BB and order your install. My time with the company lasted a whole 6 years before I parted ways due to changes within the region I worked in. The work I do these days doesn't involve any of that work but is in the electronics field though on a secure level for a government entity.
