Before the crackdown on Freon I was trained to build industrial refrigeration including brazing tubing, but I didn't have much practical experience before recovery equipment became mandatory.

I learned to service refrigeration from a mail order course my dad took. He learned to fix refrigeration because we lived far from town, and if we didn't fix it ourselves it wouldn't get fixed. My dad had a buddy named Paul Drudge who ran a refrigeration business out of Gila Bend (55 miles away) who would come out, and he taught my dad a lot, but when Paul retired we were on our own. Nobody wanted to drive 68 miles (from Yuma) to service a country grocery store.
Paul also got us started in the satellite TV business. Basically my first exposure to communication contracting work. We used to drive to Phoenix, and pick up systems from Echosphere. They had a store in Phoenix, and manufactured dishes in a facility out west of Buckeye.
