SV1OCA

Hello!    Thank you for visiting my page.

Σχετικά με εμένα 

Ονομάζομαι Λεωνίδας Μπαϊρακτάρης. Γεννήθηκα στην Ζυρίχη Ελβετίας, μεγάλωσα στην Αλεξάνδρεια Ημαθίας και διαμένω στον Άγιο Δημήτριο Αττικής. Είμαι Απόστρατος Αξιωματικός Ιππικού – Τεθωρακισμένων, Βοηθός Γραφείου Δημοσίων Σχέσεων της Ένωσης Αποστράτων Αξιωματικών Στρατού (ΕΑΑΣ) και Αντιπρόεδρος ΔΣ του Συνδέσμου Αποστράτων Αξιωματικών και Υπαξιωματικών Στρατού (ΣΑΑΥΣ). Το 2011 απέκτησα το πτυχίο ραδιοερασιτέχνη εισαγωγικού επιπέδου αφού πρώτα παρακολούθησα εκπαιδευτικά σεμινάρια στον Σύλλογο Ελλήνων Ραδιοερασιτεχνών (ΣΕΡ) και πέρασα με επιτυχία τις εξετάσεις. Το πρώτο μου διακριτικό κλήσης ήταν SW1OCA και εργάστηκα στα 2 m VHF και 70 cm UHF. Το 2013 άρχισα να χρησιμοποιώ τις ζώνες HF καθώς αναβαθμίστηκε η άδειά μου σε Κατηγορία 1 με διακριτικό SV1OCA. Το 2015 έγινα μέλος της Ένωσης Ελλήνων Ραδιοερασιτεχνών (ΕΕΡ). Έχω εργαστεί σε αρκετές DXpeditions και πολλές από αυτές ήταν νέες Ραδιοχώρες για μένα. Ασχολούμαι με την απόκτηση Διεθνών Ραδιοερασιτεχνικών Βραβείων, Βραβείων Ειδικών Εκδηλώσεων και μου αρέσει πολύ να συλλέγω Χάρτινες Κάρτες QSL.
