ROS is a brand-new Amateur Radio digital spread spectrum mode.
The first contact with ROS took place on February 18, 2010, at 20:56 UTC from Vitoria in Spain to the University of Twente in the Netherlands covering a distance of 1265 Km on 7.065 MHz. The first Ham Radio Operator to receive was EA2LE.
The HF frequencies currently used for ROS are USB 3.600, 7.053, 14.101, 28.300 MHz
To use ROS you just need your HF radio, a PC and a basic PC sound card interface, see link below.
The software for ROS is free and can be found at http://rosmodem.wordpress.com/ along with the Introduction to ROS Spread Spectrum and a user guide

International Exhibition for Radio Amateurs
Amateur radio is a pastime that brings people together, as this year’s 34th annual HAM RADIO show clearly demonstrated. The three-day event at the Friedrichshafen convention centre attracted 17,400 amateur radio enthusiasts from around the world. The 60th Lake Constance meeting of the German Amateur Radio Club (Deutsche Amateur-Radio-Clubs e. V. DARC) was also held during the event.
SYRG members attended last year as they have for the last number of years, it really is a great place to see many aspects of our splendid hobby on display. We look forward to visiting again in 2010 from the 25th to the 27th of June.
Details of last years and the coming years events can be found at http://www.hamradio-friedrichshafen.de
