Biography

My name is John Baimpakis and i live in a location about 22 kilometers west of Athens, the capital of Greece.

I worked in the '80s with the FM radio and later with the CB. After a long absence, i got my first ham license in December 2012 with the callsign SY1AKA and a year later, in December 2013 i got the callsign SV1PIZ.

I'm an author of books about hidden treasures in Greece, working as security guard since 1992 and i love nature and everything that has to do with survival issues.
