		<description><![CDATA[Winter decided to play tricks, and masked himself as Spring, with heights of 16.5° C in the last two days. It was impossible to resist the field call, and so I decided it was the perfect day to walk outside the tactical light backpack that Santa brought for Xmas. J-pole, FT-.290 IIR and some cable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In front of a shortwave rig, today, you only had to pick up your flavor. The JARTS contest, the Jamboree On The Air, and the Worked All Germany contest, plus the ongoing XX9, T30 and 3B9 DXpeditions, provided enough options for a full  radio day. Like it often happens to me, I wnet for a [...]]]></description>

At late night, with propagation doing his job just fine, I experienced best stations crossing the Pond at 5/6-7, on 40 meters. Give me one at 5/8 and I would have red-crossed the date on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yours truly isn&#8217;t too much into the Olympic Games hype (exception made for the special callsigns related to the even, which is fun to work), but amateur radio has its sporting side, so title for this post is quite a forced option. Straight to the point, now: I got lately results for Helvetia Contest 2012, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think that, in a previous life, I should have belonged to a Signal Corps. Since I became an ham (my 1st year of license recurred in the last week), I’m convinced that a day without a radio on my shoulders is a lost day. But if the radio you’re carrying is a VHF, like [...]]]></description>

Woke up a bit late (7.30 UTC), and at first I got someway disappointed. The cluster reported Giorgio, Francesco, Gabriele and the rest of the international team on 40, 20 and 15 meters. I couldn&#8217;t hear [...]]]></description>

With the heat wave rocking my sleep (around 27° C inside home), last night I decided to give a go to the radios. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First the news: I had my first contact ever with an /AM (Aeronautical Mobile) station. It happened yesterday night, at 20.32 UTC, when DF1CHB/AM, officer onboard a Boeing 737-75B flying to Hurgada (Egypt), took some time to operate on 20 meters.  Plane&#8217;s altitude, at the moment, was 11300 meters (so, 37073 feet). When I started [...]]]></description>
