First lisenced as SV2CLI in March 1993, as
a Mathematics Student of Aristoteles University of Thessaloniki
, I entered the Ham Community doing the first steps and working
mainly on digital modes on Packet and TCP/IP.
Completing University studies , in 1994, I returned to my home
town Alexandroupolis in the North Eastern part of Greece
, next to the Greek and the Turkish borders , some 350 kms east
of Thessaloniki , the second largest city of the country.
Working with a an HF radio , Yaesu FT-101 ZD and a Gap
Titan DX Antenna as SV2CLI/7 at the very beginning and SV7CLI
later, I was fascinated in Dxing.
I have confirmed about 300 DXCC entities till now, looking
forward for more.
Participating in several contests and special event stations as
free time permits, I try to be active on all HF bands.
My newest HF radio , Yaesu FT1000 Mark V , enforces this
effort .
As a Lighthouse fan accompanied by other area radio amateurs, we
enjoy working from Alexandroupolis Lightouse (GRE- 005) as
SY7LH in Lighthouse/Lightship Activity Weekend every year.
As everyone's dream , I would like to participate in a big DXpedition
from a remote IOTA in the Pacific.
