Paolo Giardini — Amateur Radio Operator — Verona, Italy

Welcome to my corner of the web, dedicated to amateur radio, technical experimentation and the projects I have built, tested and actually used over the years.

I operate mainly on HF/VHF/UHF, with a particular interest in satellites, SDR and remote stations. Here I collect hardware and software projects, field tests, configuration notes, images and resources that I hope may also be useful to other radio amateurs.
