Michael, I hope your move goes well, and indeed, I hope you will post your loggings from Firenze.

Re: [IRCA] DX opportunity changes and DKAZ gear
Good luck with the new place Michael. For some reason the air (or wine perhaps?) of northern Italy seems to inspire software defined radios; perhaps you can join in during your spare time, if in fact, there is any time to spare. best wishes, Nick At 10:39 21-06-17, Michael Yule wrote: .

Re: [IRCA] DX opportunity changes and DKAZ gear
Wow Michael: Moving to Italy! How cool is that? (I s'pect some folks are about to chime in here with ideas for stealth antennas.) IN BOCCA AL LUPO and BUONA FORTUNA!

Hi all - many of you will have noted that I've been selling off some of my gear, and I thought I'd let you know why. It seems that I'm on the move again, I just can't seem to stay put.

This will completely eliminate the opportunity for a DKAZ as we will be in an apartment in the historic centre of the city.
