ATV-Kolleg

ATV-Kolleg is a ATV content format designed to revolutionize Amateur Radio. Today, HAM radio is something that's associated with grandfathers and to a far smaller extent with strange youngsters.

We see a borderless blend from electronics over to radio technology into computer science, but keep physics in perspective in general.
