Amateur Radio

I started this great hobby when I was 13 years old and it determined my profession. I was most active when I was a student of the radio engineering department of the Lviv Polytechnic National University and operated from club station UK5WAZ (UR4WWW now). I took part in two DX-peditions - UB5BCP/UA8T (Ust'-Orda, reg.176) and RY3Z/UR5BCP (Berezan Island, Black Sea).




I like DX peditions. One of them - Santa Catalina Island (IOTA NA-066)- took place from December 17 until December 19, 2005. This beautiful island is located just 22 miles off Southern California coast in the Pacific Ocean. I used callsign KD7WPJ/6, FT-857D (100W) tranceiver and low height dipole antennas (only 7ft-10ft above ground). Please send QSLs to KD7WPJ via buro or directly.




My recent DX-pedition J6/KD7WPJ to Santa Lucia (IOTA NA-108) took place from December 21 until December 27, 2006. I made about 2000 QSOs on 160 meter - 12 meter bands with FT-857D 100 W tranceiver and simple dipole antennas. I also celebrated Christams with local people. Please send QSLs directly to KD7WPJ.

Hiking

I love to travel. That why I am here. I love hiking. I started hiking in 1980, when I visited Carpatian mountains with the group of students. I improved my hiking skills and experience when I was a member of hiking club. At those time I visited Caucasian mountains, Altai mountains, Verhneangarski mountains. Now I am looking for people, interested in hiking on the West of U.S. and Altai.

Literature

My favorite author is Taras Shevchenko.

Music

I was a member of Prometeus Man Choir, Accolade Chamber Choir and Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral Choir in Philadelphia. Prometeus Male Choir was created more than 40 years ago and has old spirit and traditions. A lot of new members jonted chorus recently. Accolade is new choir, created by Bohdan Gengalo, ex. conductor of Yevshan Chamber Choir from Lviv. Accolade has nice repertoire - classic, religious, jazz, folk. Accolade plans to create his first CD and look for sponsors.
