Welcome to My Website                                                          Last update: June 30, 2010

IIn the last 20 years I have been active only on 160 meters, keeping daily records and graphs of the band DX conditions and the related (or not related) solar and geomagnetic data. The daily DX conditions section is regularly updated with the current month graph and the correspondent past periods. New interesting graphs and comments comparing the propagation conditions between the present solar cycle minimum and the previous one of the years 1995-97 can be found here.

In the mean time the progress and the human activities have been growing also in my rural area, rising dramatically the noise level. That's the main problem on Topband and all my efforts are aimed at receiving antennas.  For every project I wrote a paper with all the documents, pictures and notes, which I put here in PDF format for downloadimg. 

March 9,2010: just managed to complete the most thrilling QSO of my life with FK8CP .  I have been trying to work Rémi since 1993: it took 17 years, but finally the dream came true when I heard him coming back to me with 439 rprt for my Country # 292 on 160 meters; he has been a solid 569 for two hours! MORAL of the story: NEVER GIVE UP because on Topband everything is possible also without Beverages, but you need patience and perseverance!
