There are high hurdles for admission to the amateur radio service. In order to receive a corresponding radio license, the passing of an extensive examination of several hours at the Federal Network Agency is a prerequisite. For this, Pia had to prove extensive knowledge in various specialist disciplines (including electrical engineering and law). With such a license in her pocket, she was able to start the race for the Schickhardt Gymnasium on Europe Day without any further supervision.
With a self-made antenna, Pia made the Schickhardt Gymnasium known throughout Europe. In total, she made contacts in 28 different countries: from Great Britain to Andorra to Greece and from Northern Finland to Sicily… In her 13 years old Pia speaks fluently in Italian, French, English, Spanish languages.
