    • Paging System Engineer
      • Dec 2006 - Sep 2007

      After American Messaging took over Verizon Paging formerly Airtouch and Pactel paging, I was responsible for decommissioning P5 VHF paging of about 50 sites in and around Atlanta and the Carolinas. I also managed the relocation of approximately thirty 900 MHz Airtouch sites that Verizon inherited. Verizon wanted to make room for their 3G at the time so we were to relocated the 900 MHz paging transmitters out of their buildings into an outdoor cabinet or relocate to another tower site nearby. I also maintained the 900 MHz paging transmitters in the same area. Had to return home due to wife's illness she was diagnosed with Parkinson's. I was able to complete project in 5 months

      I was happy to be returning to WPB where I had worked earlier in my career for Motorola. I was disappointed to find out that this radio shop was not a MSS in WPB and that they didn't even have a shop... there was a small bench in the corner of a sales office.... They were a Motorola dealer and we were there to mainly support sales... Most radio repairs were shipped off to the Daytona shop.

      USA Mobility was a culmination of 4 of the largest paging carriers, PageNet, Metrocall, Arch Paging and PageMart/Weblink Wireless. We were decommissioning and combining these systems into one efficient paging network. The Weblink two-way paging infrastructure and the PageNet one-way paging footprint. I also maintained the system in my area. After a short period of time I came down with double pneumonia and they were forced to lay me off due to excessive absences.

      I was trying to get acclimated to working the bench repairing and programming radios, mainly Motorola and ICOM. At the time I was inefficient at programming and was not working the bench as management would have liked so I was layed off due to poor skill set. Due to a gap working in the paging field I was not up to date with current two-way radios. I did fix a MSR2000 repeater from back in the late 80's.

      • Feb 2004 - Sep 2004

      I was a contractor maintaining the EDACS System for the State of Florida. Myself and another tech had 30 plus sites from Marianna to Pensacola Fl. I was located in Panama City. This job was great even though it was MA/Com radio equipment. But it was an 800 MHz system and it was a well maintained system with a monthly PM routine. I drove around and would PM a couple of sites daily... I would do service if necessary. They found a guy that would work for far less than I wanted if hired permanently so when my contract ran out it was not renewed and I went home to Greensboro

Metrocall bought us out and many WebLink folks were let go in 2003.
