For all CW operators: look for our Friend Jack IZ3DBA on Aug. 17 and 18 with his swiss call HB9EKR from Lema Mountain. Exactly one month after the activation of Insubria Radio Team from the same location, he will join with his keyer, hoping in a better propagation.

But also for SSB operators there will be any chance to contact Jack... sometimes he will leave his keyer for the mike!

Join with the pileup Jack!

Everywhere there are places not well known, so it’s our desire to popularise them as sites of scenic interest of our Insubria.

In this regard, we have dedicated the reference DRI I-006, our permanent and itinerant Regio Insubrica Award to Picuz Mountain (521 mt.) in Sangiano (Varese) and its summit with the church of Saint Clement (also referenced for Italian Abbeys Award LB-0656 which of course we include in our activity), where we enjoy breathtaking views of Varese Lake, the higher part of MaggioreLake and the town of Laveno.

This year we decided to dedicate a reference from Swiss of "Regio Insubrica" Award to Monte Lema, a cross-borders mountain for excellence, with an Italian side on Veddasca Valley and a Swiss side on the valleys of Lugano, especially the most scenic of Canton Ticino where you can enjoy a 360 ° view our Insubria. Destination for many hikers and mountain bikers, there are plenty of comfortable well-marked paths that lead us in different valleys and to Monte Tamaro.
The summit of Monte Lema is reached by cable car from Miglieglia a small village of Malcantone, accessible by anyone who arrives from the customs of Ponte Tresa (VA), turn left at the roundabout of Caslano, while those arriving from the motorway (A2-exit Lugano North), follow the signs for Ponte Tresa and turn right at the roundabout above.

Our friend and member John IZ2DXP will be on air from August 4th to 17th, 2010 from Malindi (Kenya) with the call 5Z4/IZ2DPX.

QSL direct or via bureau to his homecall!

We just returned from a wonderful activationlocated on the peak of the most scenic mountain in Canton Ticino (Swiss), only ruined by the storm and wind on Saturday evening, which forbitten us to operate during the night, moreover a very bad propagation. Nevertheless, we are satisfied with the 426 QSOs in the log, worked on all HF bands from 7 to 28 MHz, both in CW and SSB, VHF, UHF and in the "magic band" of 6 mt. There will be two separate stations, which were set up in two different rooms, which allowed us to operate simultaneously with filters Dunestar kindly put at our disposal by Matthias HB9ODP and we thank him a lot!
