From October 20, 1984 my callsign is IK1DFH (Full License 1 CEPT).My prevalent activity is HF on RTTY and SSB, Contesting, DXing,Portable. I also like hunting for reference of Italian Castle (DCI) and Italia Flora Fauna Award (IFFA), when I have time I am an Activator.

At the moment, my station is composed of Yaesu FT1000MP MARK-V, Kenwood TS450S, Icom IC7000 with LDG tuner (which mainly use when I'm in mobile in my car), antenna GAP TITAN DX that cover from 28 to3.5 Mhz including WARC band, Dipole Fritzel Multiband W3DZZ 7.0 e3.5 Mhz, Ampli Drake L7 (2kW) that I use almost exclusively in the DX pile-up. In portable activities for the activation of DCI together with Icom IC7000 as above, I use the Diamond HM6 cover from 28 to 7 Mhz antenna mounted on a magnetic base and dipole multiband.
The QSL are sent through the ARI bureau, LoTW and also electronicQSL via eQSL.cc which is an optimal post-contest verifyng system also during various activities to control the logs to check for any errors performed while digitating the call, with consequent penalization of the QSO. Tnx for a QSO
