icensed in 1972 I am living in Brunate, 600 meters above sea level and 400 above the city and the lake of Como. From my QTH I have a wonderful view of Como and of the lake of Como. The landscape is clean and open from South-East to North-West, through South. Unfortunately my takeoff to East is 15 degrees, which make very hard life in VHF to work LZ, YO, UR even E's. 

Since December 2009 I am back again on 2 meters Tropo, MS and EME after more than 20 years! On HF I am operating with a Kenwood TS-940s, a Henry Radio 2k-4, rotating dipole for 40 and 3 elements Hy-Gain yagi for 10/15/20. On 50 MHz I am using a Icom IC-575H feeding a modified 5 element F9FT. On 2 meters a TS-790 with a 200 W solid state PA into a 2 x 17 element F9FT Az-El
