I would like to announce our Guest Speaker for the November 6, 2024, hybrid club meeting.
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 updating 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.
We will announce the link to join the Zoom meeting before the meeting, but it will be posted to the BARS email list and should not be shared outside our Club. Are you on the email list? If not, please send an email to bars-subscribe@w1hh.org and then simply reply to the robot response from the server and you will be subscribed.
Observing our Zoom meeting requires only a web browser and headphones/speakers. You do not need a webcam or microphone unless you want to speak or be seen.
Before our meeting date, please go to https://zoom.us/test and see if it will function for you. If you have problems, we can try to assist – feel free to ask questions on the BARS email list.
I am looking forward to “seeing” many of you there on Wednesday, 11/6, at 1900.
Doug, N1WRN
President, Billerica Amateur Radio Society
