SOME INFORMATION

Hallo to everybody,

I passed my exam in 1991, but I’m OM since 2004. I’m an electrical engineer with a big passion for radio, since the age of 13 years, when I began to manipulate some radio surplus given me by my father. I’m very interested in self-construction projects and I think that the best thing you can do by switching-on a radio is trying to learn something new day by day.

I live in Foresto (Bussoleno), a small village in "Valle di Susa", an alpine valley located in north-western part of Italy, between Torino and the French border.
