Hi folks! This is Andy, my call is IK2SOE and my QTH is located close to the south-west bound of Milano City. Coordinates are ZONE: CQ 15 ~ ITU 28 - WWL: JN45NK. I was a radiotelegraph operator in the Navy (Sgt. RT). This site has been set principally for and is dedicated to all those OM who usually operate their Amateur Radio Station with the largest use of CW as the main two-way transmission mode. Within the contents of the next pages, I've tried to present the most exhaustive collection of informations about the three main CW Clubs in Italy, whose purpose is to maintain, preserve and encourage the use of CW as the most simple, beautiful and satisfactory method of radio communication. They are: I.N.O.R.C. (Italian Naval "Old Rhythmers" Club), which membership is reserved to those OM/SWL coming from military Navy and/or merchant Marine, in which they were enroled as radiotelegraph operator. Associated membership is provided for non-Navy operators. MARCONI Club A.R.I. Loano, giving the "MARCONISTA" honorific qualification. CLUB TELEGRAPHY ITALY (A.R.I. Radioamatori Radiotelegrafisti), an ARI-associated club releasing a symbolic patent in recognition of CW transmission dedication.
