I would like to know the meaning and/or background for the username you have chosen. Username stories are interesting. Do you agree?
Ok. What do you like about Klystron?Yes, I agree. I chose Klystron since magnetron was already taken.
You must like the song Monday, Monday, so good to me. Tell me, what's so special about Monday when most people despise the first day of the week?I'm all about Monday.
Isn't that a bit dangerous to reveal your real name in an open forum?I chose my real name.
Yeah, many people say so. But it's only the name; I am not giving away my bank account number or email. If that didn't satisfy you, I can say that I took the risk.Isn't that a bit dangerous to reveal your real name in an open forum?
It's not about satisfying me. I was just curious why you chose to reveal your real name. It does not affect me one way or another.Yeah, many people say so. But it's only the name; I am not giving away my bank account number or email. If that didn't satisfy you, I can say that I took the risk.![]()
What would be an interesting username for you?I've thought about changing my name to something more interesting, but I've never got round to it. Maybe I should do it?
My avatar is a picture of the Coney Island Boardwalk located in Brooklyn, New York.A thread that might be of interest: Explain your avatar (my explanation)
JosefK might have been better; or K2; or, something silly.What would be an interesting username for you?
Ok. Whatever makes you happy works.JosefK might have been better; or K2; or, something silly.
I've never been happy with PeroK.Ok. Whatever makes you happy works.
Me too!I chose my real name.
Understood.I've never been happy with PeroK.
But... what?!I've never been happy with PeroK.
Always had a fondness for electronics, particularly RF (radio frequency) oscillators and receivers. Magnetrons and klystrons produce beautiful 'pure' electromagnetic fields for a variety of applications from warming your food to guiding craft in aerospace to powering colliders and linear accelerators.Ok. What do you like about Klystron?

I was an Electrician's Mate in the Navy (1996-2000). However, when I returned to civilian life, I did not seek a job in the field of electronics. My first job after the Navy was per diem teacher for grades k-8.Always had a fondness for electronics, particularly RF (radio frequency) oscillators and receivers.

I have considerably more hands on experience with magnetrons and comprehend electron cycloid rotation better than traveling waves; also klystrons generally resonate at more precise frequencies at higher energies than maggies. The latter feature actually makes magnetrons more interesting to me for radar applications; analogous to wayward children requiring more care and attention.
There's a little bit of weirdness in every person but you already know that.Well, I'm weird, so long ago I decided to have this user name on some dating sites. I don't know why I chose to have that name here, though. On most of the sites my username is AiDi, which is loosely related to my name (Adam). Some people (on polish sites) thought that it was related to word 'ID' because both AiDi and ID have the same pronounciation in polish. It's was not, but I kinda like this idea and sometimes I sign my PMs with that form of AiDi.
Served as as a USAF radar tech (1971-1979) in SEA the last years of the Vietnam War then with more exotic systems on various electronic warfare ranges north of Nellis AFB; i.e., beyond Dreamland. Bravo for teaching children. I taught radar science and EW tactics to officers and enlisted as my last Air Force assignment but, tired of endless warfare, switched to mathematics and computer science as my civilian career.I was an Electrician's Mate in the Navy (1996-2000).

So, what is the meaning behind your user name? Do you play a hazardous harp?
Somebody complained about your FB username. Really? I guess it’s easier for humans to gripe than it is to pay a compliment.There was no thought process behind my name. It just came to my head. To me, Mondayman sounds like some keener at work that everybody avoids.
I usually choose stupid or inappropriate words or sayings. On Facebook, I had changed my name to Richard Tree. After a bit, I then inserted the short form for Richard, so my name for a while was $&#@ Tree, until somebody complained.
I am also a fan of adding an extra "g" when my typical username is taken.Mine's just a play on my initials. "Twig" is often taken, so I just threw in an extra "g" and it stuck

"Pinball" is a 1974 song by Brian Protheroe, I added 1970 because that was my favourite year of the series the rock and roll years.I am also a fan of adding an extra "g" when my typical username is taken.
