• SV1LIQ Personal HamRadio Page

    My name is Fokion Stavropoulos and I am an active Ham Radio Operator, especially on digital modes.

    I live in Athens Greece.

    My locator is KM18vb

     

    This hobby goes back many years, since 1983, as a high school student who has always been curious about physics and electricity.

     

    After spending some years in "piracy" i completely cut off the use of radio, until 2005 when i decided to return as an active radio amateur.

    I got my first licence as SW1LIQ and after 2 years I upgraded to SV1LIQ which is my current callsign.

     

    I spend time daily working new stations on air especially on FT8 lately which is fast and easy to confirm.

     

    Personally, I will eventually upload all HF contacts to LoTW, eQSL.cc, ClubLog and QRZ.com. I don't normally log VHF/UHF contacts, but if you ask me to log it while we're on the air, I will, and I will confirm it

    I will confirm by paper QSL card if I get one from you via the same path (Direct or Bureau), or if the QSO was especially memorable.

    (No money needed or IRCs)

    My new room station is getting better day by day... This is my latest build. (Nov 2019)

    Wires now are well hidden but changes are very difficult. Needs "fine tuning"

    ICOM IC-2730A

    Really simple V/U VV/UU. Value for money.
    I got it from a friend who decided to leave VHF and UHF bands.
    I use it almost for Cross Band Repeater and as a low consumption unit.
    40 mA at standby mode makes a great battery friendly Rig!

    SIGMA EUROCOM SE HF X-80 & HF-360 PLUS KIT

    Latest installation for HF bands. Works better than i expected! SWR 1:1 from 80m to 6m bands after a very rough tuning evening.

    Thank you Jim (SV1LHZ) for sharing your time and knowledge!!

     

    //Update// Be noted that the UNUN has limited life against Digital modes when more that 25 Watts. I didn't know that and burnt mine. Hopefully changing the UNUN everything is back in normal. ....Phew !

    Diamond A502HB 6m 2 Element Yagi

    Nice antenna works great at the 6m band. HB's are well known antennas for their efficiency when space is an issue.

    Diamond W-8010 80m to 10m with traps.

    I've had this for a month and when I decided to install it I found out that there was a trap (14Mhz) and 2 cables were missing. The seller (www.meimaris.com) was kind enough to send me replacements.
