IK5ZTT, who is ? how contact me: my shack my surplus

 

Hallo everybody !

  My name is Paolo, I was born in Pisa in 1967; now I’m living few kilometers from the city of Pisa in Pèttori (jn53fq), 100 meters from the pisan border. I work like a chemist in chemist’s in a territorial pharmacy.

I like sports such as tennis, american football, F1 car racing and my favourite hobby is ham radio, computering, paper money collection and when I was young I loved aeromodelism a lot.

For more than ten years I was a speaker in a local private Radio Station working on FM: it was a great experience !!!

I worked on 11 mt band (CB 27Mhz) for long time, then I got my OM first class licence in 1995. After that I preferred the large possibility of HAM frequencies.

I'm member of A.R.I. , Int. Pharmacists Ham Group,  Croatian Telegraphy Club (#1490), European PSK Club (#3702), Digital Modes Club (#1540) , 30 Meter Digital  Group (#2803) and Croatian Digital Club (0596).

 

My shack is very simple:

mostly, I work on HF using Kenwood 870 and Yaesu FT897D  for digimodes with handmade LEP interface, my power is 100Watt maximum; my antennas are Deltaloop dipole for 40/15m, a long wire dipole (T200A 4:1) one for 40 m, one for 20m both up 1m from the roof of my garage and Baby Loop Antenna.  

I’ve also one ECO HF8 vertical multiband antenna 4 meters up in the garden, that you can see with my setup under the snow on November 2005 on the left. 

For my light VHF activity you see a Comet GP1 over the top in upper left pic.

Here you can see some of my hand made Ant for VHF & HF.

During my portable or vacation activity I use Icom 706I, handmade tuner and my dipoles or, as in last months for DCI activity, the multiband vertical antenna from ECO up over my car.  In the past I worked a lot from Italian Islands as IS0, IG9, IM0 using diploes antenna, very simple to get up and qiute invisible to courious eyes.

I've some nice vintage/surplus radio, and  some are functional other are not.

But unfortunately the time to dedicate to my hobby is very poor.

 

Since December 2003 I work digimodes also with a PentiumIII 670 Mhz computer, 256 Ram and Creative SoundBlaster 16bit, MixWin soft 2.16 v., I1LEP intraface, preffering BPSK31, RTTY, MFSK, and now CW.

Sometimes I travel in local PCL node ik5pwj-6 or ik5zuk-6 looking for dxinfo.

 

That's the copy of my first self edited qsl card I sent to my OM friends from 1995. I had only 700 circa and soon finished. Now with my new address, my card is bi-coloured, with a new artistic & panoramic background !

Some other of my activities and past qsl could be seen here.
