ARI Monterosi (IQ0MX / IQ0AAN): A Section Forged by Friendship and Service

Monterosi, Italy – The A.R.I. (Associazione Radioamatori Italiani) Sezione di Monterosi, initially identified by its call sign IQ0MX and now by IQ0AAN, was founded on January 3, 2010. It was established by the current president, Dario Padovano IZ0HDB, along with other radio amateurs from the area. ARI Monterosi originated from a split from the ARI Viterbo section, created to serve the southern part of the Viterbo province, where no other sections existed.

The section is located at VIA ROMA 52, 01030 MONTEROSI RM. For inquiries, you can contact President IZ0HDB Padovano Dario.

On August 25, 2023, following the sudden passing of dear friend Tolmino Tamantini I0QQT, a lifelong resident of Monterosi, the Section's Board of Directors, in unanimous agreement with its members, decided to dedicate the section in his name. This was a recognition of his role as one of the founding members and his status as one of the oldest and most active members.
