I’m 15 years old and I’m attending a science high school. I live in the mountain town of Clusone, in the province of Bergamo, about 90 km from the metropolis of Milan, Italy. I’ve had this passion since I was a child, but I was not yet aware of it. Unfortunately, a year before I got into this beautiful hobbie, my dad sold everything including his radio, an Icom IC-746  and Utltrabeam’s dynamic 3-element antenna for all HF bands. Then, one day, I became fond of this intriguing pastime. My uncle (IW2LEW)(https://www.qrz.com/db/IW2LEW) and my dad helped me to understand the basics of radio and I slowly began to enter the world of amateur radio. My first radio was a Yaesu ft-897d, with a vertical magnetic antenna for VHF and UHF and a car dipole built for the 20 meter band. After a bit of practice (mostly listening), I started to make some QSO with digital modes (PSK-31, PSK-63, RTTY, SSTV, FT-8 and FT-4) with an antenna that I use now, ie, a multi band End Fed for 40,20,15 and 10 meters. After learning how to transmit with digital modes, I became passionate about the voice and I began to transmit, making the first QSO in SSB. Nowadays, my working conditions are an End Fed multiband antenna, a magentic antenna for VHF and UHF, a portable Moxon antenna built for 14Mhz and a Sotabeams antenna for 14/7 Mhz. My transceivers are: a Yaesu ft-897 and an Icom IC-7300. Since I live in the mountains, I really like to go hiking where I like to use my Yaesu ft-897 and my portable antennas.
