Worked him often on 75 and 40. Always had a great signal into New Mexico. Yes, his voice was a bit scratchy, very distinctive. I forgot how old he was.
Mi dispiace molto per Patrizio! Lo ascoltavo con piacere quasi tutte le mattine in 40 mt a volte in 80 insieme ad altri amici radioamatori facevano dei collegamenti bellissimi con america, nuova zelanda, messico ecc, persona sempre positiva e nonostante gli anni dallo spirito giovanile! Ci mancherai riposa in pace!
I have only been a ham a short time, yet I had the good fortune to work Patrizio a couple of times on 40 m. Very distinct voice, but a very kind operator. My sympathy to his family & friends. May the Lord hold you in the palms of His hands.
