Robert Hartung with his new CB Radio - Blackberry Curve 8320

Welcome to the KE4JCD Amateur Radio and more site, and my name is Robert Hartung. Here we are all about effective and productive forms of communications available to the public. For years, I said "Get a Ham License and Get a Real Radio" when the popular CB Radio bands were invaded by jammers due to the absence of FCC enforcement.

However, Today we have a far more effective means of Wireless Communications then CB, General Mobile Radio Service, and Amateur Radio. Now we have Smart phones like the one I am holding in the photo on the lift. I can surf the internet, take photos and short movies, send and receive text based e-mail, use Google search, Google maps and latitude, Yahoo Messenger, Facebook and Myspace, Trapster, keep up with the news and sports, and so much, and yes for a fee.

Even so, that fee is not hindering people from obtaining one, even kids have them. As a result, the Amateur Radio Hobby has been deeply affected and the destiny of Amateur and CB Radio is anyone guess?

These days, I can be found on Yahoo Messenger, Skype Video Chat, Facebook and Myspace, Reading/Replying E-Email, IRC Chat Rooms, Telneting to BBS's, Reading/Replying in Newsgroups, Playing Online Games, Shopping on Amazon, Studying The Bible, and more.

Viewing my favorite TV Shows like Knight Rider, Perry Mason, Hawaii Five-0, Star Trek, Fantasy Island, The Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and more on Hulu.com.
