I2SVA
Licensed in 1972 I am living in Brunate, 600 meters above sea level and 400 above the city of Como and the lake of Como. From my QTH I have a wonderful view of Como and of the lake of Como. The landscape is clean and open from South-East to North-West, thru South. I am surrounded from higher mountains East bound.
I am currently active on HF bands, 6 and 2 meters. In HF I am operating with a Kenwood TS-940s, a Henry Radio 2k-4, dipoles for 160, 80, rotating dipole for 40 and 3 elements Hy-Gain yagi for 10/15/20. On 50 MHz I am using a Icom IC-575H feeding a 5 element F9FT modified. On 2 meters a TS-790 with a 150 W solid state PA into a 17 element F9FT.
FSK441, JT65, RTTY and Logging are performed via PC inrterfaces (MicroHam) and standard Ham software; I am using Logger32 for general purpose logging (more than 80k QSO recorded), Writelog for contest, MMTTY for RTTY, WSJT for Meteor Scatter and Tropo on 2 meters.
Also, a nice software to use is the BV7 QSL application by DF3CB; real a fantastic time saving tool to write QSL and answer to QSL received. Good Job!

The picture on the left side is taken from Como, and you can see the lake and few boats; the village on the top of the hill is Brunate, and my QTH is just on the sky line, one third from the left. The picture on the right shows my 3 element Hy-Gain on a 45 feet tower and the rotating 40 meter dipole on the top. On the background is the picture of my house during winter time, with almost 2 feet of snow on the ground. Nice location in the summer time! |
