Michele, IV3RAV
I'm Michele Corvino and I have been “on air” since July 1991 with the call sign of IW3RJI (special licence) and since January 1997 with the call sign of IV3RAV (general license). I operate on all HF bands and you can connect with me both through SSB and CW or through the digital systems: RTTY is what I prefer. I take part in the main HF contests focusing on CQWW RTTY, SSB and CW usually as a multi operator with my contest call sign II3A, together with my brother Nicola IV3HYD and some other friends. During the contest you can hear me with the call sign IR3A, which is Nicola’s (IV3HYD) qrz. Nicola and I work together and we have the same timetable, so it’s easy to connect and hear us on the radio at the same time. This is my private life, not counting HF experience: I was born in February 1975 and I live at Fagagna, an amazing village in the province of Udine which was admitted to “Borghi più belli d’Italia” (an association of small Italian towns of historical interest). It was here that I met Marina who became my wife in September 2001. I’ve never thanked her enough for her support and for bearing with me while I follow my passion for HF. She deserves it : thank you from the bottom of my heart. Together we share many hobbies and pastimes: we obtain the mushrooms picking license and the truffles national picking license, and the fishing one as well. We adore playing billiards. There’s still one more thing that we are bonded over and we share the same love for motorcycles. Marina has a Kawasaki VN 750 and I have a Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500. Collecting is one of my passions, in fact I’m a fond collector of old coins, Italian and foreign banknotes, eraser, topical stamps relating mushrooms, magnets and old postcards portraying my village
