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. We also have a tower mounted webcam 70ft high overlooking downtown New Port Richey on the site. Check out the full site at 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 WCIE 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). Full info on the repeaters are on our website. 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 acombiner 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 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!
