Biography

I was born in 1957, radio operator since 1968, amateur radio, like my father Mike IT9LMK (SK), since november 1972 (pat.n.261/PA). In my logs there are over 180.000 qso's, in addition to the QSOs made in the contests, and over 330 countries, but no awards, becouse I'm not interested. I am active since 1972 also in many international contests, CW, SSB and RTTY.
In the 1979 I was a radio operater of the italians militaries forces and in the 1985,I have change my job and from 1985 to 2019, I was a machinist of the italians railways FFSS, in Sicily island.

Finally retired from railway in 2019.

So, I'am going to enjoy my hobbies now (amateur radio, music, bike, moto, etc...).
