About Anthony

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). Changed call sign to K8ZT in June 2000 after updating to Extra Class License. One significant thing in his early Amateur Radio learning was the publications of two QRP clubs- SPRAT from the GQRP Club and QRP Quarterly from the QRP ARCI.

He is active in a variety of Amateur Radio activities, but his favorite activity is operating! Whether it is contesting, DXing or rag chewing, satellites, etc. CW Phone or Digital, the QRP contacts have added up and now top 107,000. First drawn to contesting by his love of working DX, he has consistently finished in the top ten of a variety of major contests and finished first in the US in both CQ Worldwide Phone and CW QRP categories multiple times. As a bonus, his QRP DXCC total recently topped the 326 mark, and he has completed 11-band WAS.

A prolific operator, Anthony also maintains websites k8zt.com & ZTlearn.com, writes for CQ Magazine & On All Bands Blog from DX Engineering and developed an ARRL online Contesting course.
