Biography
Dear friend,
my name is Paolo and I was born in 1964, married with Anna, we have 2 children: Mattia and Camilla.
I live in Cernusco sul Naviglio, a small city on the river with about 33.000 people, it's about 10km east from Milano.
I start as a C.B. when I was 14 years old, and 10 years later I took the O.M. license and I've always been a fan of DX !
After the wedding I stopped my radio activity for a few years, but then, as the children grew up, I started again.
I have a collection with several QSL, with 302 confirmed DXCC prefix, today.
