I was born in 1972, OM since 1992. I've made a lot of
activity on VHF (6 meters included) and UHF, tropo, Es and
satellite. From 24/08/2005 I'm active also in HF, most in
20/30/40 mt band CW.
I'm married with a very patient (HI) girl, a Daughter called ELETTRA , and alwais when I'm trasmitting from my shack, my Cat (Meo) is with me as a second operator (HI)... so if you will hear some more "dit dit" during the QSO, it's probably a "cat's joke" made with my paddle... He really enjoy very much to paly with everythings on my desk, also with paddle! Before 24/08/2005 "IW" was the old Class B without CW exam, and I could not use HF. Now that I dont need CW exam I've discovered CW as a beautiful way to make QSO all over the world and I work 99% in CW only... After 2005 a big part of IW changed the callsign and turned IW in IZ (class A callsign), but I decided to keep my old IW1DFU because it was my first one and also to remember my origin. I'm not a Big Gun (HI), Usually I use only 100 W (now I've also a small and old amplifier , rebuildedwith 4 6js6a - 500W , but I try to use it only if needed) but with my Bencher, FT1000MP MKV Field and a litle bit of luck, some times I'm able to do a good DX. I'm qualified in Electronic and Telecomunication;In the past I've also worked with PLC, Robot and industrial automation. Now I'm involved in industrial weghing sistems and mechatronics automation. I enjoy also diving, offroad motorcycle and photo and, of course, I'm interested in every technology things. WWL: JN35WM
As the biggest part of OMs I enjoy very much QSLing so, if you need my QSL card It will be a pleasure for me to answer 100%. For the first contact in each band I always send my QSL card via BUREAU. If you need direct QSL, I will answer sure in a few time (max one week). No $ or IRC are required , answer is alwais a pleasure (SWLs are welcome!). If you have sent to me a QSL card and you've not recived my qsl, please email me and I'll provide immediatly to send a new QSL. If you want to QSL direct: Fabio Arrighi Via Andrate 47/C 10013 Borgofranco D'Ivrea (TO) ITALY Somethings that make me proud to be OM :
