Biography
HI, my name is Alessandro and I live in Rome.
I got my OM licence in 1976 when 1 was 18 years old, the call was I0KTH.
But many year lasted and I didn't use it, so the call become obsolete and it was retired by the Italian Autority.
Finally in 2014 when I was 57 the interest in radio arose again and I got the new call IZ0WRS.
In may 2015 finally I purchased an FT817, a dual band 144-432 Yagi, built a lightweight multiband dipole (6-20) and started my portable QRP activity.
Going around on Internet I found SOTA, and immediately I liked it very much, because in this way I can enjoy my different interests all together: motorbike, mountain trekking, and radio.
So now I am going around to activate the SOTA mountain in central Italy.
