Hello! if you are reading here probably we had a CW QSO.

I begun to play with radios at 13, building a crystal receiver. I obtained my Ham licence on january 1966.    

In 1967 I obtained the International Certificate as Radio Officer of the Merchant Navy, but I never sailed. CW is my favourite mode of operation (more than 90%),and I'm member of INORC (Italian Naval Old Rhythmers Club - n°391)and ARMI (Associazione Radioamatori Marinai Italiani - n°154).

My equipments  : transceivers FT901DM (Yaesu) , IC-751A (Icom), SR400 (Hallicrafters), transmitter : HT32B (Hallicrafters), receivers : SX117 (Hallicrafters), RA17L (Racal), R-388/URR (Collins), R-1051/URR, R1120 (Sailor). For QRP I use a SS-105S (Shimizu-Denshi) transceiver running 5 W out.

I use different types of KEYS : straight (Junkers, I1QOD, J38, and others from military surplus),  bug VIBROPLEX , paddles BENCHER,VIBROPLEX and others.   

Antennas : wire 30m long  for 160 to 30m bands with ATU and multiband vertical for 20 to 10 m bands.

I QSL any QSO and SWL cards are welcome. No EQSL please.  Best 73s and DX dear friend, hope contact you again on the air!
