I would like to announce our Guest Speaker for the July 2, 2025, Zoom only club meeting. Will be Anthony Luscre, K8ZT. He will give his talk on Portable and Field Operations. We have had Anthony in the past and he was well received, so you won’t want to miss this presentation!
Here is Anthony’s biography:
- First licensed in 1981 as KA8NRC, Anthony has been a QRP operator from his very first QSO (no one told him Novices should not start with a 2-watt QRP rig).
- He changed his callsign to K8ZT in June 2000 after upgrading to an Extra Class License.
- Anthony enjoys sharing his Amateur Radio interests with others by maintaining websites, including www.k8zt.com, writing articles for a variety of publications, developing an online course for the ARRL and doing hundreds of club presentations both virtually and in person.
- He also serves as ARRL Ohio Section Youth Coordinator.
- He is active in a variety of Amateur Radio activities, but his favorite activity is operating! Whether it is contesting, DXing, rag chewing, satellites, etc. CW, phone or digital, the QRP contacts have added up and are now top 115,000.
- First drawn to contesting by his love of working DX, he has consistently finished in the top ten of various major contests and finished first in the World and US in both CQ Worldwide Phone and CW QRP categories multiple times.
- As a bonus, his QRP DXCC total recently topped the 328 mark, and he has completed 11-band WAS QRP.
