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.
