Yes, my friend Franco Rota is doing a fine job since many years, making available at reasonable cost RF components that would otherwise be hard to find or expensive, and often subject to minimum-quantity orders.

Only recently he could be convinced to put on Internet his catalog... before you had to go to the various ham fairs in Italy, and ask him a paper copy of the catalog, which was updated may be twice a year, and so it risked to be always a bit obsolete,

Oh, when talking about technical subjects in Italy we use very often English words. Firstly, usually the English language is more concise than Italian, and its words are shorter than the Italian equivalent, and so more convenient. Secondly, we don't suffer from chauvinism, and we recognize that English is *the* international language, especially for science and related subjects.
