EYRAN, 4X4-2238: 20 YEARS OF SWL ACTIVITY
 

My name is Eyran Millis, 34 years old, I am a SWL since July 1986 and my call is 4X4-2238. I am living in Natanya, about 30kms north of Tel-Aviv.

I got my first Collins51J4 receiver, as a gift from my father for my 13th Bar-Mitzva celebration. Since then, I just bugged with DX’ing, Only DX'ing! My main interests are DXing and Awards chasing.
I got more then 178 Awards. My confirmed DXCC score is: 312 Countries.

I am used to be bored very quickly so I am just looking for any new IOTA, then to keep up my interest in this hobby I just started looking for WAB (Worked all Britain) Squares, then jump to SOTA (Summits On the Air), then any Castle activity which is my top interest btw…
So, I never got bored in that way… hi hi!

 

Oooh and of course I missed the RDA (Russian Districts) and DOK hunting!
I have more then 700 confirmed DOK's and I am planning to get the DLD-H very soon!
I am using Collins51J4 receiver since July 1986, then I got another Collins receiver 51S1 Serial, and few weeks ago I bought an Icom746 after I gave my R-5000 to a friend of mine.
The Icom746 is a great one! The best I have had, though believe me or not, I prefer the Collins... hi!

Antennas are very simple: just a Long Wire and a Dipole for the low bands. Maybe the fact that I am living about 5 minutes from the sea shore and my antennas are directed to the east (the window of my room) is a good factor!

I am a member of the IARC, MDXC, KDR (Russian Awards Chasers Group), got my WAB Book numbered 17008, and I am very active on several eGroups around... (A full list is in my site)...

I am not planning to be a licensed amateur at least for the next 10 years.
Do not ask me why please...heh heh... I am just fine with what I am now as you can see...

 
 

I am working also on CW and RTTY... Mostly on CW and RTTY I am using the RCKRtty by DL4RCK and my logger is Winlog32 by G0CUZ (a registered version). It’s a great logger, excellent also for SWLs and support about 25 Awards in its Database…
