Huge DX with a Tiny Antenna from AliExpress
Full disclosure: AliExpress reached out to me a little while ago and asked if wanted to get some credit to review products from them. They gave let me choose any product I wanted from the marketplace, and they gave me no guidelines on how to do the review. All opinions are my own.
This is a fun little kit. The MA-01 might not be a great antenna, but it's a fun antenna.

      I just answered you over on the Facebook group. You will not get a different answer here. I had no issues ordering this radio to Norway, and I know of hams that has ordered this radio to a bunch of different European countries. As with not shipping to Italy, that is probably an issue with the seller you are looking at. Not everyone ships everywhere. And as I also said over on Facebook, I believe Wimo has it in stock, and that is thorough and German.
