Licensed in 1972 I live in Brunate, 600 meters above
sea level and 400 above the city 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, through South.
Unfortunately my takeoff to East is 15 degrees, not so good to work
that direction.
