The Award

Join with us!

Although our portable activities are hibernating, we wanted to start the new year with a small burst of energy. 

Thanks to Luciano IK2QPO, Maurizio IZ1GJK, Andrea IZ2LSC and Emanuela IZ2ELV we attended the 2010 CQ LOW BANDS without any ambitions and hopes of good finishes, keeping a baptism IQ2IR into the world of contests. 

Without showing off great powers and large antennas, we logge about 200 QSOs in the bands of 40 and 80 meters, fighting with a strong QRM and QSB, and certainly not in favor of a propagation. It was a wonderful experience that surely we will repeat in the future, trying to organize a team of contesters.

As regards activities in 2010 valid for the Regio Insubrica Award we have many irons in the fire, which will see us engaged in three provinces moreover the Canton Ticino: Como, Novara and Varese. We think we can publish an estimate schedule by the end of February.

The next event will be exhibition "Computerfest & Amateur Radio" at Malpensa Fiere in Busto Arsizio on January 30th  and 31st, where we will be present at our stand in the  hall reserved for groups with our member Giorgio IK2DUV, who will make interviews for his HAM RADIO WEB TV.

It will be an excellent opportunity to greet with pleasure all SWL, YL and OM who will visit us and welcome with open arms those who wish to became a member of team!
