Howdy! I’m Evan, N4UCQ. I’ve got licensed up to Technician in 1988 (when I was 12) with the help of my father and godfather, but am only recently turning on the radio(s) again. Upgraded to General and Extra on the same day in May 2022.
During the day, I help nonprofits figure out the best ways to talk with their donors and supporters. I work for Best Friends Animal Society , an org working to end the unnecessary killing of pets in shelters across the U.S., and operates the nation’s largest animal sanctuary. I’m occasionally an adjunct professor at Georgetown University, lecturing on the best ways to activate audiences to support causes.
I live in Washington, D.C. — more on that below — with my wife, two alarmingly great kids, and two very well-loved cats. When not distracted by ham radio, I’m generally distracted by life, kids, photography , and kayaking at the Washington Canoe Club .
