Hello Old Man, my name is Annibale (Alex is the name for transmissions in CW).
I was born in 1962 and I obtained the amateur radio license in 1985.
I operate on HF, VHF, UHF almost exclusively in CW and digital.
In the period 1987 to 2000 I made several satellite QSOs (RS7/10/11/12/13, AO10/13, FO20/29)
Sometimes, I participate in any Contest HF and VHF.

I'm member of A.R.I. (Italian Radioamateur Association).

EQUIPMENT:
My RIG: Kenwood TS930S (HF) + TS711 (VHF) + TS811 (UHF)

ANT: Vertical Hy Gain AV640 HF + 11 and 9 EL TONNA VHF + 21 EL TONNA UHF

Thanks for visiting and I hope to connect soon in the air!

For each contact my QSL sure via Buro. The final courtesy of a QSO/DX is a QSL.

We are not strangers, just friends who have never met.

Non siamo estranei, ma amici che non si sono ancora incontrati.

 

" CW GREAT SOUND! "
