Biography

Il mio primo qso, effettuato con regolare licenza, risale al lontano 03/12/1975.

Per i primi anni sono stato molto attivo in HF ed ho sperimentato varie antenne tutte autocostruite.

Dal 1982 ho iniziato ad utilizzare la gamma 2 metri e 70 cm, sempre in banda laterale unica.

Nel 1990 ho cominciato ad utilizzare il digitale con le rice-trasmissioni in packet.

Dopo parecchi anni di qrt, ho ripreso le attività a Gennaio 2018 dedicandomi principalmente al DXCC.

A tal proposito voglio ringraziare chi organizza le spedizioni per attivare i Paesi rari e chi conferma prontamente i QSO su LoTW.

I did my first qso, with regular licence, in December 3rd 1975.

During the first years, I have been very active in HF and I also tested several aerials, which I made myself.

In 1982 I started using 2 mt and 70 cm range in single sideband.

In 1990 I switched to digital, with packet rice transmission.

After several years of qrt, I took up the activity again in January 2018 devoting myself to DXCC.

Speaking of which I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the expedition organizers who work hard to activate rare countries and all those who promptly confirm QSO on LoTW.
