About Me

William J. Rivers
Columbia, SC
email riversb@yahoo.com

I retired from Midlands Technical College but seem to have less free time than when I had a full time job. I taught in the Electronic Engineering Technology Area. Some of my favorite subjects were Microprocessors, Interfacing, Computer Repair, and Networking.
My Interests are very broad. Computers, Networking, Amatuer Radio, Web site building, Electronics, Travel, and Radio Control Model Aircraft. I did not become involved with Amatuer radio until after retiring so that is a relatively new venture. I had been very active with RC models in the 70's and 80's and was a founding member of The Jackson Flyers Assn. I flew tive in Scale, Funfly and racing events. I also was editor of the SCRAM newletter. After a period of inactivity I have begun to return to RC Models. I do stay busy
