Next Saturday, October 5th, in the wonderful and famous setting of the city of Sanremo, Liguria Region on the Italian Riviera, the local Amateur Radio Club has organized a DX Meeting where, in addition to various technical topics relating to the world of radio, a special section is dedicated to Antarctica.
The guest of the Meeting will be Lt. Danilo Collino IZ1KHY, expert alpine Scout and mountain guide of the Italian Army. (see pics above and below)
At 15:00 local, Danilo will talk about his 3 Antarctic campaigns in support of the Italian-French Antarctic scientific missions.
WAP has reported about the previous Danilo’s work in Antarctica, the last of which was in the year 2022.

Another guy will also joining there, but it will be a surprise … in any case, another additional chance to love Antarctica a bit more!
