Welcome to my home
on the Internet.
I was first licensed
on March 14, 2002, which was my parents' 58th anniversary. I am a
police officer for the Palm Bay, Florida Police Department, which
has a ham shack in its headquarters. During Hurricanes Frances and
Jeanne, I worked with the volunteers in providing communications
between the city's EOC and police headquarters, and among the
shelters in south Brevard County. In furtherance of this, I have HF,
2 meters and 70 cm installed in my patrol car.
In South Brevard
County, we have a group very active on 146.52 simplex. That's where
you're likely to find me.
I am heavily involved in Scouting, being the Chartered Organization
Representative for BSA Troop 734. I work JOTA each year, and worked
on the Scout Camps Calling Protocol.
More recently, I
have started an Amateur Radio club at
Palm
Bay Community Charter School, Patriot Campus. The school's call
sign is KI4ZUR. Please look at our listing on
qrz.com.
Please feel free to
contact me about any of these
topics.

NOTE: Currently, I don't have my APRS active, so
the locations shown on these links will not be accurate. When I get
APRS up and running again, I'll post that here. Thanks for your
interest!

Special Note:
Spring Camporee for
Manatee District, Central Florida Council was held on the weekend of March
16, 17 and 18, 2007. This was Manatee District's first Radio Merit
Badge camporee, the
theme being Mission (im)Possible. Throughout the
camporee, Scouts experience, and participated in many forms of
communications. Most, but not all, were ham-radio related. We
expect to provide HF, VHF, UHF and, hopefully, microwave. We had Slow Scan TV (SSTV) and Amateur TV (ATV),
satellite communications and other modes. We also familiarized the Scouts with
semaphore. The Camporee was a total success!
We want to thank:
