HI ! My name is Rick. 

Licensed 1977 (formerly : IW1AWH - IU2FGB)

I was born in 1962 in a small town in Noth West Italy, Ivrea (in the same place where a famous italian typewriter and computer factory, Olivetti, started many years ago). Got my Ham license until 1977. Main hobbies are radios, computers, electronics, photography, scuba diving.

I like all digital radio communications, enjoy experimenting with rtty, amtor, psk, mfsk, domino, throb, oliva, jt65, ft8, ft4, analog and digital sstv and any other.

Running a Yaesu FTdx101MP into an Hy-Gain AV-680 vertical antenna and using a Micro Keyer III from MicrHam for digital mode. I use Ham Radio Deluxe v.6.x, Win4Yaesu, N1MM+, WSJT-x , JTalert  and several other ham soft.

I run any mode, SSB, CW, RTTY, SSTV, Any DIGI or any other mode available.

I'm mainly active on HF bands from 80m to 10m, less frequently on 6m-2m-70cm.

I've been active in the past on SSB Ham Satellite (28/144/432).

I love DX chasing, Contest, Ragchew.
