(Photo taken in Casale, 1992)

My name is Andrea, and my QTH is Casale Monferrato, a small town located in north-west Italy, about 70km east of Turin and 70km South-West of Milan.
I'm an amateur radio operator since 1990.
My main interests in amateur radio are HF DXing on all bands and modes, DXpeditioning, contesting, collecting QSL cards, amateur radio software and elmering new hams.
