BIO
I've been born in 1959and I'm native of Rome,In 1976 I've got the call sign I0IOJ. After a period of some years spent
in Germany, from 1989 until 1997, from where you may have contacted meas DJ0KZ, in 1997 I came back to Italy, in
the Northern part, in the region of Bergamo (abt 20 Miles E of Milan), and got again an italian call sign, I2IOJ, that I still
hold.
Here I manage a factory producing X-ray generators and X-Ray complete equipment for medical or industrial application.
I live in Seriate, a small town (abt 20k inh.) very close to Bergamo.
Here you can see Bergamo, in a view from Seriate:
Here another view of Bergamo
Here with my wife in Bergamo old town (Città Alta)
and here is my FAMILY:
with Valerio, Mom Eda and little Flavia.
I have spent my life between 1981 and 1985 in the Italian Army, where I was an officer of the Signal Corp.
In the annex picture you can see me some years ago when, I established again the old and famous official amateur
radio station of the Italian Army's Signal Corp National School, IK0MIL, formerly called I1MIL.
I designed the all station's set-up, radios, antennas, including the all shack's non-radio hardware, supported by
the Signal Corp School's very helpful carpenters.
Here is IK0MIL at that time
I mainly listenwhen I'm in the radio shack and very rarely take the microphone or the CW-key, or the keyboard, for QSO-ing.
The absolutely preferred mode is since ever CW. I also like talking by phone with collegues in SSB and practicing in this way
languages; but I also like very much the all digital modes.
I don't send QSL as a standard for each QSO, and prefer to reserve it to the situations when it is really needed, as for license's
upgrades, for awards or for a specific wish. If somebody wants to get my QSL after a QSO with me, I will be very glad to send it
to him; he is therefore kindly required just to ask it clearly.
