Hi!

I was born in april 1959 in a village near my actual QTH. Since the mid of the '70 when I began to take interest in ham radio, I felt that my main goal was DX hunting in HF. I got the Italian licence in 1981 and in 2001 the US Extra class call K2CHZ. In 1991 I married Cristiana (IW2NVI/KC0QXT) who shares with me this great passion, now we live in the centre of Crema, a nice, old and small town 30 Km from Milano, where we work at Linate airport.

In 2006 I got #1 DXCC Honor Roll.

From May 2007 ARRL Volunteer Examiner.

Untill today (May 30th 2009) my score is:

All 338 DXCC (340 with deleted) entities confirmed and credited on Phone

106 DXCC entities worked on 160 m. and 100 confimed!

105 DXCC entities worked on 6 m.

318 DXCC entities worked on RTTY

2611 DXCC entities worked for Challenge and 2054 confirmed

816 IOTA worked and 564 confimed
