Biography

Hello, My name is Dana. I am an Air Force Vet of 14+ years. Now I work as an Electrical Engineer. I was first licensed in 2006 and my first callsign was KD8DQP. I got my Extra in 2019 and changed my callsign to AD8EU. A friend introduced me to QRP. Now I’ve been a regular on FT-8. I’m still learning about the different mode of QRP. Although, my first choice is always voice. I really do enjoy QRP. I am amazed such low power can reach so far. My QTH is located 20 miles south of Cleveland, OH, with HOA restrictions.

My other interests are wide and varied. Astronomy, Slot cars, Real Sports Cars (No Automatic's here... Porsches mostly), Autocross and Formula 1.
I also collect and rebuild vintage radios.
