Hi! I'm Fabio, I was born in 1981 and now I'm 28 years old. I obtained the Radioamatuer license in 1999 when I was 18 years old with old callsign IW8EQD but I'm on the Radio since 1994. I was born and I live in Napoli (Naples) in south west coast of Italy. My preferred band is HF and I mostly operate in SSB and Digital Modes (RTTY, PSK, MFSK, etc.).
Member of Strange Radio Team (SRT #213), RBLOB Radio Group, EPC #5535, DMC #1924, FH 2153, 30MDG #2794.
I operate also from my old high school "I.T.I.S. A. Righi e VIII" with IZ8NIR callsign.
I work for an Information Technology company as Systems Administrator. I mostly work on SUN Solaris, on Linux, on Windows and also on Cisco and Juniper Router/Switch.
Other hobbies are Music, Film and cars: I love my Alfa Romeo 147 JTD 16V MultiJet 140BHP.
Many thanks to my girlfriend Michela!

I'm a LoTW (Logbook of the World) member so all my QSO are on it, anyway I prefer to confirm QSO also via send and receive a paper QSL card. QSL is via bureau, via LoTW or via direct (no eQSL please). I hope to meet you on the air. SWL reports are the welcome. Best 73 de Fabio, IZ8MBW.
