The target groups of these pages will be kept very broad.

There will be:

• Students from technical schools and HTL's,
• Students from technical colleges and universities,
• and all those interested in radio technology for the transmission of voice and data in the terrestrial and orbital environment

addressed.

The pages are intended both to provide an introduction to various topics and to provide detailed accompanying information on projects.
