Elvira Simoncini IV3FSG
Elvira Simoncini IV3FSG (most recently 3X3A) has been inducted into the Heritage CQ DX Hall of Fame. Elvira has been an avid DXpeditioner who has operated from 34 different DXCC entities since 1990 often including a strong humanitarian effort as well, which included an association with “IT WITHOUT BORDERS”. In a world constantly facing new digital challenges, this association seeks to bridge the digital divide through the intelligent supportive and sustainable use of technology by implementing nonprofit projects in marginalized and emergency situations worldwide. It also promotes innovative IT initiatives for people with disabilities. After a professional life entirely dedicated to teaching, this voluntary work led to extensive travel opportunities for activating amateur radio along the way, almost all carried out independently while continuing to optimize the portable setups used. This volunteer work often included introducing young students to amateur radio through dedicated courses and demonstrations.
