Cari colleghi,
qualche giorno fa ho ricevuto una email da N2TU Lou che mi descriveva la sua visita a Roma,
in particolare da Francesco IK0FVC owner della stazione HV0A per installare un nuovo TRX Flex.
Oltre a lavorare per la Flex radio, Lou è uno degli spedizionieri più famosi e non solo in USA.
Tra le sue spedizioni ricordiamo la partecipazione ai team di NH0S Swain Island, K0W Wake,
K1N Navassa, K5P Palmyra. Entusiasta dell'accoglienza dei dxers romani in particolare di Luciano
I0JBL e naturalmente di Francesco IK0FVC. A casa di quest'ultimo poi Lou ha potuto effettuare
un piccolo pile up con il remote di HV0A. Qui di seguito la sua email e alcune foto allegate.

I have just returned from a trip to Germany and Rome...yes, working for Flex
has certain benefits!
During this trip, we installed a Flex at HV0A in the Vatican and operated it
remotely from Francesco's (IK0FVC/ Station Licensee) home, which is about 5 miles
from the Vatican. Francesco and his close Friend Luciano (I0JBL) were very welcoming.
See the attached photo...Francesco is on the left and Luciano is on the right with
St.Peter's overlooking his shoulder. You can see some of their antennas seemingly
atop my head! Their antennas, atop the North American University (seminary)
in the Vatican, are amazing. The SteppIr has a full 360 shot to the horizon.
Sitting in Francesco's kitchen, he called CQ and the pile-up was almost immediate.
Following the first Q, he handed the mike to me. I ran about another 30 Qs. CDXA
member K5EK was in there!... EU was loud...of course.... but so was NA....
exceptionally loud! We had a fantastic time with two of the most warm and welcoming
individuals I have ever met. Hams are Hams...wherever we are!
