About me:
I was born in Spain in 1975 and passed my novice-class exam in March 1992. I continued my training as second operator of my father's station (EC1DGK), doing CW only. I passed my A-class exam later that year, and got my own callsign in 1993 (EA1AOK). Then, I set the hobby aside for several years, until April 2007, when I got my current callsign (EC1CW). Due mostly to antenna restrictions in my appartment, I became a fan of portable and mobile operations. I introduced Summits On The Air in Spain in August 2010 and became the manager of its EA1 region. I was very active for a couple of years doing SOTA activations and recording them on video for my YouTube channel and blog. During that time, I also played with military manpack radios and started making my own designs. Then I created Beaches On The Air in January 2013, but it was not until July 2015 that I introduced the current website with added beach lists and functionalities, and started my own activations.
