Born in 1953 in Athens.. 20 years later first radio bite in army as radioteletype op. After the army, decided to go to the sea as R/O in merchant marine but as I was ending my radio officer education, I was employed in the national coastal station ATHINAI RADIO/SVA in 1977. One year later got my license.

During my working years I was partly involved in amateur radio. In 2000 SVA went QRT. Six more years worked as telecommunication advisor in the same organization and so 2006 retired. For 18 years now amateur radio is my only hobby that fills my free time.

I used to make wire antennas but now contesting and DX hunting is my only interest.

Other hobbies that I used to, but not now because the age not allowed, were diving fishing, basketball, volleyball. But still I play my tubeleki (little drum played with the hands) when my wife (by the way SV1DKQ) sings with her bouzouki group.. Lately I discovered I have a DJ talent, where I found big satisfaction entertaining people. My location is Artemis, 25 km east of Athens, a sea side place that becomes rapidly to a resort. Two element quad, IC-7300 and 500 W linear is my main equipment.

Some more info can found in my QRZ page. See you on the air.
