 Welcome in KWOS website
This is the
site of a
Buccaneer-Scholar, as well as a friend of mine calls all the persons
that follow a particular lifestyle of mind. All the pages you will find
in this site are written without the benefit or burden of a conventional
education.
You will find here pages regarding my hobbies and jobs in various highly
technical fields like ham-radio, meteorology, astronomy, electronics and
so on. [ my
curriculum vitae ]

METEOROLOGY
- The
section dedicated to the
lightning has been
expanded.
-
Many, many modifications on
the
E-Field Mill
software: has been added an algorithm to evaluate the
distance of the strikes.
-
If you are near Scandriglia, you can see
the very useful
Cloud Coverage Detector
page.

The
VLF Lightning Radar
is back on line.
-
NEWS: a new project has started: ViEWCam
(Visibility Estimation With Cameras) .. keep in touch with
this site.

ASTRONOMY
-
Now the telescope is fully controlled
from the house and can be also controlled with a Team Viewer
connection everywhere on Internet. It's also possible to
check the movements with an infrared camera.
-
In the weather & sky page you can find the data coming from the
Sky Quality Meter. If you're
planning to come in Scandriglia to do astronomical observations,
please take a look to it before leaving.
-
In the astronomy page you can
also see the images coming from the
All Sky Cam
recently installed near the telescope.
-
A wide angle camera, very sensible to
the light (0x0001 lux), has been installed to catch
meteors
and lightning.

HAMRADIO
 Take
a look to the pages of the Gateway D-STAR IR0UCA and IR0UGN. You
will learn how they work,
 and how is possible to have
a D-STAR gateway completely homemade. You will see that they're
also connected to the
ircDDB Network.
Finally IR0UCA is active also in APRS. It is a
double-port I-gate and I'm using UI-View and AGWPE connected to
a TM-D700 and a TNC PK-88. Take a look to the page dedicated to
the APRS to see my setup. Thanks to my brother
Marco IW2OHX
that gives to me a VPN connection to his gateway, I'm back
on-line on
AMPRNet/HamNet
with the address 44.134.14.9/iz0qwm.ampr.org. |
