Easter Holidays...



Great time for relaxing and many hours on radios.  
Propagation makes many surprises specially on 6 and 4m.
More than 2.000 QSOs most of them on HF.

Thanks to all my ham friends for call and QSOs.

Please check my QSL policy at this blog and 

For those who asking what the "PayPal Donate" means on the 
upper right side of home page at my blog and on last line at 
my QRZ profile, it's simply the best way for many friends 
to give their returning fee. 

I put it there because you ask for it.

Yesterday Cees PA3FXO visit us on south Rhodes.  Cees spend the holidays with his family at Faliraki Rhodes and as promished his passing to say hello. He is an interesting person with a wide spectrum of knowledge and a real Amateur Radio man. We have a nice talk for about 2 hours under shadow with about 36 Celcius around....hi hi
Unfortunately no any propagation on 6m to work from my station but the eyeball qso with him was beatiful....

Thanks for visit us Cees and we look forward to see you soon on island.

SV5KKR on AEGEAN VHF Contest 2012...

This year I decide to stay out of competition on any band at AEGEAN VHF Contest and for first time my son Manos try on 6m band after his upgrade from SW (category 2) to SV (Category 1) prefix due the low for Radiomateurs change.
Yet another time we use our alternative QTH for AEGEAN Contest at KM36vc. At Saturday propagation goes just fine and he manage to make 180 QSOs. Sunday was a propagation disaster. No propagation at all and only 10 stations. A small opening to SP, OM for all day !!! Total 190 QSOs for Manos and hopes for a good rank...


Late the night on Sunday a good friend send me a link from YouTube about Manos:

Holidays continues at KM36vc (South Rhodes)....

Me and my family as every year we spent our holidays at Istrios village at South Rhodes (KM36VC).
No big results about Perseids shower (only 3 QSOs) due to heavy Beer QRM with my friends at village.
Two good 6m openings ( i think the last for this season) make my radios smile.
We spent long time at Gennadi beach and our veranta with us and friends so the radio activity will be limited untill the first week of September....
Good time to all of you...

160m New antenna tests this weekend.....

This weekend I will be QRV from my 2nd QTH on 160m using the modified 9 band Fritzel FD-4 Windom antenna. 
Thanks to a small hill beside the house I get the right height and distance to erect the aerial. 

SWR shows to be OK (slightly off on 80 and 160) and will be interesting to explore the behavior of the new antenna at this install. 

I try once some years before and I install this antenna into urban area with poor results. 
Hope the countryside to help this antenna to give me more DXCC countries for my 160m band collection.....  


See you on air....
