Qualche anno fa finii, un po’ fuori mano, nella sezione dell’Associazione Radioamatori Italiani sita in Reggio Emilia. Come? Niente di particolare. Qualche settimana prima stavo passeggiando tra gli stand della fiera dell’elettronica della medesima città quando, giunto di fronte al banco dell’Associazione Radioamatori Italiani, vidi una cosa cui non potevo resistere: un apparato wi-fi sperimentale sul quale stava armeggiando un tranquillo signore di nome Claudio. Costui, illustrandomi un po’ di dati tecnici, riuscì poi a catturare la mia attenzione di discente e diventò, di lì a poco, un mio istruttore nel corso di preparazione per il conseguimento, l’anno successivo, della patente di OM.
Non è stato tanto leggero sciropparsi nearly eighty miles, round trip, one evening a week for years, in order to follow each time a lesson in two hours, from 21 to 23: after some heavy work days, the excess of fatigue felt a lot, but the topics were very interesting and very enlightening explanations on even the most complex concepts, so I could not certainly miss appointments.
the end, the classmates have taken the exam Emilia in Bologna, while I'm gone, alone in a chilly morning in December, in Milan, and everything to luck or whatever, went smoothly, so after a few months, yet I went to trim down the number of Italians using the OM My station name: IZ2LTX, in fact.
