2015: WELCOME TO MY AMATEUR AND BROADCAST RADIO WEBSITE

Back before cell phones came along and took the charm out of our ability to make a phone call to a repeater on 2 meters, call our wives (or husbands) and carry on a mobile conversation, our exclusive technology was the envy of John Q. Public. With the aforementioned arrival of cell phones, mobile communications among hams has lost its charm and the bands are relatively quiet. I have fond memories of my daily 32 mile commute from Trenton to New Brunswick conversing "round table" style with 5 or 6 fellow commuters going to their respective work QTH's. We called our little early morning and early evening net the "commuter's net." I miss those wonderful years.
