I’m Lorenzo “Vash”, ham radio operator IU1BOT in Italy.
I’m into radio DX and spend a lot of time on CW, training and improving my Morse on LCWO. I mainly operate QRP, both from home and portable, and enjoy building my own equipment, radios and antennas.
I love building terminal-first tools and keeping things lightweight, hackable and open source. I maintain PyttiAPRS, a single-file, dependency-free APRS TUI that talks KISS, compatible with Direwolf.
Within XZ Group, I focus on open-source radio projects and hands-on experimentation, software and hardware. If you hear me on the bands, drop a call. 73!
