G3IVO

Hi, I'm Ivo (pronounced as "Eve-oh" or "EE-voh").

Originally from Bulgaria, I've been living in the UK since 2016, where I hold the callsign G3IVO (previously M0IKO). My Bulgarian callsign is LZ2IVS.

I've been passionate about amateur radio for years, but my latest obsession is Parks On The Air (POTA) — you'll often find me out in the field activating parks with a compact portable setup. It's become my favourite way to combine the outdoors with radio.
