The HV5PUL amateur radio station is active since 1997 at the Pontifical Lateran University, in the Vatican City State.

The station is activated during the special events at the University like the Academic Year Opening Day (Dies Accademicus) in October/November or the Lateran Journey at the end of April.

It is also activated by IW0DJB, the station manager.

PSE SASE !

Please don't waste time and money sending multiple requests, simply write an email to me for checking if you are in the log and be patient! Don't write for asking if I have received your card because I don't remeber every card I receive!

Please don't send registered mail because I have to go to the post office  for pick up the letter and often I have attend to a long line and I have to pay additional money for the post office stop. It is not faster and cheaper than send a normal letter!

Don't send QSL to HV5PUL via bureau: I don't use the bureau and HV doesn't have a bureau.

Normally I'll reply in a couple of months after receiving your request.

73 and Good DX to all!
