I was born in 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 some years ago 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.
Untill today (August 6th 2008) my score is:
338 DXCC (340 total) entities confirmed and credited on Phone (
http://www.ari.it/hf/diplomi/dxcc/classifiche/index.php?topic=Phone )
104 DXCC entities worked on 160 m.
103 DXCC entities worked on 6 m.
317 DXCC entities worked on RTTY
2601 DXCC entities worked for Challenge and 1985 confirmed
805 IOTA worked and 542 confimed
From March 2006 I am ARI APRS Manager and from May 2007 ARRL Volunteer
Examiner.
