Nice to meet you dr friends

     I was born in 1958 in Pombia village of Crete island, Greece, placed close to Phaestos palace. 

    I am a Biologist, and i work on the Microbiology Laboratory of the Univercity Hospital of Heraklion, Crete.

     My job there, is to research the resistances of the microbe-strains to the antibiotics.

     I am married with Maria and we have two children, Sofia and Andreas.

    My home QTH  is near to KNOSSOS palace, the center of the famous Minoan Civilization.

    I am very proud to be a Greek ham radio operator, especially a Cretan one.

     I have my ham-radio licence since 1983, and my special inderest to the hobby is designing antennas.                                                                           

     Also i am very much interesting for digital modes , packet radio and computers.

My working conditions are as follows.
