Italian amateur radio station I1AN was operated by Giuseppe Nicolai in Padova, Veneto during the 1950s. This 1959 card confirms a phone QSO on the 20m band with F9CE, one of many trans‑European contacts made from this modest station.

Station details

  • Transmitter: VFO + P35, 45 W input
  • Antenna: long wire
  • Receiver: R107
  • Reported RST: 5-8, modulation "OK"

Giuseppe signs the card as "Joseph", a small but charming example of how many Italian operators adapted their names for international correspondents.
