Hello, I'm Stefano (born in 1972) .. My first license was in 1990 with IW5CNW ..
after the examination of telegraphy, in 1993 I became IK5XCT
I live in CASCINE DI BUTI, a small town in Tuscany near PISA center ITALY.
My main passion is radio, I love the QRP and DX, but I have the CW in the heart.
I like to walk in the mountains with the radio, i activate some SUMMIT with SOTA
My sport is swimming & trekking
I've done some interesting projects for amateur radio:
- DXKEY: a keyer CW for QRP and DXche for use in the mountains for calls with little power
www.qsl.net/ik5xct/dxkey - DXLOOP: a magnetic loop portable from 15 to 40m
At home I use an Elecraft K3 with Dynamic Antenna 2 element Ultrabeam 6-40m
For Portable QRP, FT817 DXLOOP & WHIP20, dipole INV-V & KITE ANTENNA !!
I'm ARI Mamber, MDXC Member and GQRP-CLUB #9597 .. qsl 100% via Bureau or Gqrp~Bureau.
