Marek OK1BIL

First, I would like to write something about me. I became registered SWL on 8th November 2010 as OK1-36349. I was listening to everything in air including commercial radio, air traffic and amateur radio. I was really interested in HF bands especially when propagation made possible hearing some DX stations. I also got some nice QSL cards as SWL. (Please respond to every SWL card you get, it really is a big motivation for the people.)

Then I passed the HAREC exams and I am now licensed as OK1BIL since 1st May 2011.

In September 2011, I joined local ham radio club OK1OUE. I took part in CQ WW SSB 2011 under our club callsign OK7O.

Besides HAM radio I study Informatics on Faculty of Applied Sciences and I work as IT support in one local company.

What I am interested in

I simply love building antennas. I made some wire dipoles and verticals, lightweight 2m/70cm DK7ZB yagis, 1/4 GP for Airband, 2m Super J-pole, a discone antenna. I especially like designs from cheap, lightweight and unusual materials.

I also love portable operation. So I take my car or my bike or a backpack and go somewhere out. My QSL card says it all.

In future I would like to work some LEOs satellites. I had real fun listening to them as SWL so I am looking forward to work them.
