 There are some overnights and some long days and lots of travel in my

 I don't get any calls in the middle of the night and the budget allows for
 just about any tools or test equipment I need to get the job done.   I have
 learned quite a bit of new technologies and spend 80 to 100 hours a year
 professional training about 30% non technical training.

It sounds like you have a good gig there, I'm happy to hear about this. 

One of the cellular people I talked to here had a similar story to radio. 
With cellular consolidation, techs are getting fired and the few that are left 
cover a wider territory. One paging company employee that rents our tower said 
they were going through big cutbacks because the company realized that 
preventive maintenance was causing more problems than it fixed. They therefore only go 
out when something breaks and they have fewer people. This particular chap 
was not sure if he would be one who still has a job.
