Welcome in KWOS web site

After about 10 years of inactivity in radio, I decided to re-install my station. Now I live in Scandriglia(RI) no more in Bari and I've just received the new callsign IZ0QWM.
You can find me on the radio, usually on the D-STAR reflector XRF003.
Please, visit the IW2OHX TCP/IP Radio server (and much more). IW2OHX is my brother Marco Di Martino, and I must
say thanks to him because he asked me again and again: "why don't you go on air again ?" :-)
A special thank also to my father Angelo and my mother Elisa who have always believed in me and in my crazy activities.

This summer I dusted off my camera (EOS D30) and bought an EOS 550D. This purchase has awakened in me the desire to do photography so I opened a dedicated section.
At the moment the section will be redirected to the Flickr page but I hope to give some more informations about this hobby.
The IR0UCA gateway is now on the ircDDB Open D-Star Network. The ircDDB-Network is a amateur radio network for exchanging routing information. There are several amateur radio systems that are able to reach individual ham radio operators, due to the use of unique callsigns around the world. These systems need to be fed with the latest data where ham radio operators are reachable. For example, ICOM introduced the first radios with digital voice (D-Star) on the amateur radio market, which are capable of addressing QSO partners directly (call sign routing). The ircDDB-Network provides a solution to distribute the essential routing information across its entire network.

IR0UCA is also an hybrid MotoTRBO repeater linked to the worlds D-Star and Echolink.
I hope to install as soon as possible a real MOTOTRBO Repeater, but for the moment I will study what is possibile to do with this innovative DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) standard.
