My Interest in Electronic Communications

I have been interested in electronic communications since I was a kid growing up in Ft Smith, Arkansas. One of my first memories of the techno world was in the mid '50's when television was just coming of age. Our family would load up in the back of my dad's pick-up truck and we'd drive to downtown on Friday nights to watch the "Gillette" boxing matches from Madison Square Garden all the way from New York City. We'd watch the fights on a black and white TV that was placed in the store window. Heck, we didn't need to buy a TV, we could sit on the sidewalk and watch it for free! 

I also remember my first crystal radio set. It was made of red plastic and shaped in the form of a rocket and looked exactly like the one pictured here. In the nose cone was a little rod that would go up and down to change the frequency, except the only station it would receive was KFPW, the station that played Sinatra, Glen Miller and Arthur Godfrey's morning show. The little crystal radio couldn't get KFSA, the Rock and Roll station, so I was forced to develop an early appreciation for what we now call "The American Songbook".  

I find the Internet fascinating and this web site is simply a continuation of my interest in electronic communications that began with crystal radios and black and white televisions. It amuses me and I hope it will amuse you as well. 

Check out my incredible ability to read your mind right now over the Internet or listen to a live feed of our local fire department. Watch videos of some of my mountain climbing trips, visit other web sites that I've produced or help me solve the mystery of "Nero Ceefo".  If you'd like to leave me a message, you can send an email to Jerry@Presley.cc. I'd love to hear from you. 

Jerry
