OM Paolo, Thank you for sharing the sad news about Fausto. He was quite an accomplished DX'er (huge numbers) who held a similar call to mine. I treasure the time in 2013 when I got to spend the day with you, I4EAT, and T77C in Ravenna and San Marino. One of my favorite ham memories. 73, Ken

Very sad to hear of Fausto's passing.  I worked I4EAT on the VHF bands, My first QSO with him was in early 1979 on 144 MHz moonbounce. We had many QSOs on 144 and also 50 MHz E Skip.   I treasure those early 144 MHz EME QSOs.  Fausto will be dearly missed but not forgotten. Dave K1WHS
