Amateur television (ATV) is the transmission of broadcast quality video and audio over the wide range of frequencies of radio waves allocated for radio amateur (Ham) use.

Here is our own television studio where we produce our own content, not only streamed on YouTube, but transmitted out on a digital amateur television channel for everyone to watch in our city.

I wanted a way to get on the air quickly when operating HF portable.

Introducing the Mad Dog Coil – an alternative to a Wolf River Coil. Simply attach your antenna whip/wire to the top bolt, adjust the collar on the coil, connect radial/counterpoise wires to the ground socket, and you’re good to go!
