User info

• Hy Guys,
• My name is Ernesto and I'm 56 years old. I born the 17 February 1965 in Milano, the city where i'm still living. 
•  I got Ham License in 1987 but before that I was active on 27Mhz band under the call "2 AlfaRomeo 35" for many years. I started as usual with basic devices.I got married  in 1991 than I moved on a new home, where I installed the radio station even before finishing all the rest , heating system included. That year was a really cold winter !!
• In 1995 I decided to install a serius antenna system, so this is was the result. Unfortunatly 2 years later a strong storm crashed the 9mt. tower where Hy-Gain Explorer 14 and VHF/UHF/SHF antennas. Terrible disaster !! 
• After that I was active on the frequencies only in a few occasions with a CP-6 by Comet.
• In 2012 I met IZ2ZTR (Elio) that I'm still sharing with him the hobby of rifle shooting. He started a very hard brain storming to convince me for a new antenna system. So in the yearly Jannuary 2014 a started to consider for a new antenna. Vertical as the first idea, than a mini-yagi as final decision !! I had always a really clear idea in my life. So, let we start !!
