Welcome to my (still WIP) personal webpage! This is a small corner of the internet. We don't have cookies, but feel yourself at home!

About me

I am qsr711 (I know, that's a mouthful, you can just call me Quimirillo or Quim, pronounced Kim). I'm a 25+ male Spaniard train driver living in northern Spain. I started this webpage in order to create my small corner of the internet that is entirely human-made, free of AIs, cookies and data-mining Terms of Service. I don't like surfing the mainstream Internet these days, where everything feels very... Artificial? Optimized? I don't know, it just feels depressing and grey. Thankfully, sites like Neocities allow for actual humans to express ourselves, and just seeing so many vibrant webpages created by the community makes me feel like I can create my own too!

In this page you will eventually find stuff about my interests (see next section). For now, everything is still WIP so not much of interest to see yet. But we're getting there!

My interests:

• Of course, trains!
• Radio listening, mostly HF, and SIGINT. Currently a more-or-less active member of the Priyom team
• Videogames! I usually play story-deep games as well as casual games. Also some sandboxes like Minecraft.
• I kinda want to learn some Japanese. I know the basics (Hiragana, katakana, basic sentences, etc) and I'm enjoying it a lot! My dream is to visit Japan some day and fluently speak with the locals!

Latest Train driver's Log

Entry #3: Tuesday, July 14, 2026

Still working on this site from time to time. At least I think about working on it. That's something, right? Anyway, the latest additions to the site have been mostly behind the scenes, like making it w3c compliant on both CSS and HTML 4.0. It ain't much, but it's honest work.

But that doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything in real life! One of the highlights of this past month is that I finally built my MLA-30+ shortwave antenna for my SDR! It's mostly a temporary setup, using zipties and the like, but it does the job very well. The build can be improved by making the loop more round or adding a support that isn't a backpack full of stuff so it doesn't tip over (lol), but I will do it in the future when I feel like it.

The performance of the antenna is pretty good if I place it outside, it actually picks up more signals than I thought. Being in Spain and facing east, I managed to pick up Radio Marti from the US, BBC and Vatican Radio from their relay in Madagascar, and even the time signal RWM and the Buzzer! The strong point of the loop appears to be from 9 to 20Mhz, where I get strong signals during the day and night. I haven't had the same success with lower frequencies, though, but the results were nice nonetheless.

As for the actual webpage, I have a concept of what each section will contain: Radio stuff will mostly contain QSL cards I obtain using my local equipment (using internet SDRs feels like cheating at this point). The trains section will have various sections, but it will certainly have information about old signalling systems in Spain. It's a topic that I love and fascinates me, and I happen to have a small but solid collection of pictures of old signalling systems in Spain, and basic knowledge of each one. There isn't a lot of info about them online either, so that will be my contribution to the web. The links section will have cool links that I find interesting (duh), as well as time capsules I find while navigating through the internet (sites that haven't been updated in decades, for example). The "other projects" section will have miscelaneous things for now, basically anything that doesn't fit in any other categories.

More importantly though, I should work on the actual design of the website. It looks too basic and I can't seem to get the colors right, but I will work on it with time.
