Biography

My name is Allie. I was born and live in the Irkutsk city, located near one of the most beautiful places on our planet - Lake Baikal.
I started my amateur radio activities as a listener in 2018, and have been making regular listening of the air ever since. I received my callsign in August 2022. My passion for radio is directly related to my profession, since I graduated from the Faculty of Physics of the ISU in the areas of radiophysics and electronics. Now I work as a lecturer at this faculty, and I also have organized an electronics club with students, where I teach them how to solder electronic circuits and understand the principles of their work. What attracts me most of all in amateur radio activity is the opportunity to develop and test in practice my handmade receivers and transceivers, as well as to explore the features of radio wave propagation. In this regard, I am more interested in the work with QRP power, as it opens up more opportunities for assembling and testing my handmade devices and antennas. I made my first QSOs from the forest near my house with a power of 4 watts, working on a homemade half-wave dipole suspended from trees. At the same time, the distance from me to my first correspondent was 4500 km on the 20 m band. However, high power operation is also acceptable for me. Sometimes I do QSOs from the collective radio station RK0SWA.

My second job is scientific activity at the Irkutsk Institute of Chemistry (IrIC SB RAS), where I do quantum chemistry (programming, testing and using quantum chemical methods for calculating various properties of molecules). I also have several other hobbies: sports (mountain biking, running, Nordic walking, skiing), playing the guitar and singing, writing songs and poetry, drawing. In addition, before the university, in parallel with my studies in the physics and mathematics class of the lyceum, I studied at the theater studio for ten years.
