I managed to get through two out of four halls today. Just finished uploading a bunch of photos. Time for sleep.

Tonight, Friedrichshafen is full of cars with mag-mounted antennas, people wearing t-shirts and hats with their callsign printed on and there is even the occasional RFI on the hotel television. I’ve uploaded a few photos to my Ham Radio 2009 flickr set. Tomorrow we are leaving early for the exhibition.

This is the largest amateur radio convention in Europe and attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year. I’ll post photos to my Flickr account and maybe some updates here on the blog. So, stay tuned!
