I am Giorgio, I'm a 1955 model and I'm licensed as an amatuer since '80 .

My station setup includes: FTDX 9000D for HF and 6 meter, Yaesu FTM-400, FT2D and FTM-100 for V-UHF FM and C4FM, K1, K2, Elad FDM-S2, Yaesu FT-891 and Hytera PD785 and MD785 for DMR. My primary hf antenna is a Fritzel GPA-30 that's a vertical multiband placed at about 10 feet over the building roof.

I had a (more or less) 20 years ham operation pause, but recently it restarted in a strong way ... as it is an deeply located hobby/passion/love that may sleep for a time but it can wake up suddenly at any moment and takes the scene in strong way

I like very much Psk31 and RTTY. I operate these modes by using MacLoggerDx and FLDIGI on Mac and Yaesu SCU-17 interface.

Recently I started CW operation with my Begali keys.... but I'm not so skilled in this mode so thanks in advance to whom will be in a CW qso with me for patience and mistakes tolerance !

Thanks for reading. Ciao and enjoy ham radio!
