Trent Fleming, N4DTF
(Sayville, NY - February 1, 2021) - Trent
Fleming, N4DTF, of Germantown, Tennessee, has been named CQ magazine's
VHF-Plus Editor, CQ Editor Rich Moseson, W2VU announced today. Fleming
succeeds Tony Emanuele, K8ZR, who stepped down last year due to
increased time demands at work.
Trent
says he has had a love for all things radio since he was introduced to a
Zenith Trans-Oceanic shortwave radio as a youngster. His ham radio
interests include HF DX, VHF/UHF weak-signal work, FM simplex, and
emergency communications. He holds 6-meter VUCC, HF DXCC and 5-Band WAC.
Trent has a passion
for introducing folks to the hobby and is intent on helping new hams get
their feet firmly on the ground in order to enjoy the rich
opportunities ham radio provides. In his spare time, he
also enjoys rebuilding, operating, and sharing "hollow state" devices
from the 1950s and '60s and maintains an active workbench for that
purpose.
Professionally,
Trent is a nationally-known banking strategy expert, and when not
advising banks on strategy, he is often afield with rod, gun, camera,
and sometimes a radio! He enjoys sharing his experiences through writing
- including a fly-fishing blog - and photography.
"I
am looking forward to working with Trent," said CQ Editor Rich Moseson,
W2VU. "We both share long-time goals of introducing newer hams to the
world beyond repeaters on VHF and UHF, along with the fun and excitement
of VHF DXing and the importance of promoting greater use of our
extremely valuable microwave bands."
