I am married to Pat, we have two sons who are married and we have one Grandson.
I am of Italian decent, my mother was Italian. We have just been granted our Italian Nationality through my Grandfather and my Mother, by applying to the Italian Courts. Its a great day for my family and me.
I have been licenced since the 80's. I am not very active on the bands, my main activity is QRP, I like building QRP transceivers. I work with a friend who is more technical than myself. Together we have produced a number of good projects.
In the past I have enjoyed building replica transceivers like the Paraset and the Ameco with a matching receiver. They have been a bit of a challenge because of my lack of technica expertise, but I got there in the end.
Instead of the convential VFO, I like installing simple DDS in the projects and I have been helped by a number of people to develope my own boards. I have a friend who is great at programming and developing the Pic chips and that certainly helps.
