Thanks for looking me up here on QRZ! This shapshot was taken by my partner, Sean Fleeman N4SCF, on a tower climb at 300ft on a 350ft Rohn 85 tower back in 2004. While we are both fully certified tower climbers (Gravitek/Comtrain/RSI Safety), we don't do many climbs these days, too many other projects usually going on. Keep the creditials updated though, many of the sites I work at require them.

We're located here in the beautiful sunny state of Florida, on the Gulf Coast about 30 miles Northwest of Tampa. Here's some of what I am usually working on and my interests.

I operate the APRSfl.net web portal with information about my APRS activities and free real time level II high resolution doppler radar. On the web at http://www.aprsfl.net.

Sean and I own and operate the following on air systems on a 350ft commercial broadcast tower in Port Richey, Florida (I am the chief engineer and site manager for WLPJ FM, the owner of this site):

* 442.65+ Repeater at 240ft and the 146.760- Repeater at 200ft.   Both PL100  with 20-25 mile radius coverage.  Directly connected to echolink as KG4YZY-R (node 4429). Both repeaters are open access to all and both are linked into the NI4CE West Central Florida Regional system 24/7.

* KG4YZY-11 APRS I-GATE and Wide Area APRS digipeater at 200ft (20 mile radius coverage).

We also host the KJ4BYI D-Star repeater owned by KI4SWY at the site via a combiner system on the 200ft antenna system. You'll find me frequently on D-Star - usually as KG4YZY A.

Aside from amateur radio, I spend alot of time with my business... Fleeman Anderson & Bird Corp http://www.fab-corp.com is a 2.4Ghz/5.8Ghz 802.xx wireless networking gear and consultant company with clients worldwide.

I also work as a contract broadcast engineer, working at numerous Florida AM, FM and TV sites with both RF and IT responsibilities.

Hope to hear you on the air!
