I was born in 1982 and my first touch with radio world was during 90’s. After getting my first wide range receiver in 2002 I begun as SWL. Fire of passion grew up and in 2006 I decided to do one more step licensing as Radioham with first call IZØKBW. I had just started cw study for the license examination but the start of my cw full time activity was in 2007. It was love immediately and I started to improve my rx speed and transmission.Bugs and straight keys are my favourite because mechanical stuffs are more funny than electronic paddles. I like have long chatting qso and hate the full band qrm during contest that damage the beauty of cw language. I consider we have to protect and preserve cw using it communicate between people not for rst exchanges only. In my experience using cw to have real contacts with people bring me to meet most of my great friends. IZ4PHG, IZ8VKW, IU0HMB only fews of those I knew on the waves and with who relations are strong also in real life.

Best wishes and best 73Luigi IZ4KBW
