Friedrichshafen Event
Friedrichshafen

The largest ham radio exhibition in Europe is held in Friedrichshaven, Germany every year in June. A large number of GREC members travel out and spend the weekend at the show. The exhibition area is housed in a complex called the Messe Friedrichshaven and consists of four large halls each as big as an aircraft hanger, thus allowing an enormous square footage for exhibition and demonstration. Every conceivable piece of radio gear is on display, new, second hand and vintage. Transmitters, receivers, antennae, test gear, computers plus a fascinating amount of spare parts and electronic goods. In short this is the place to be if you are into radio communication.
Club members stay in Lindau, an old medieval town which is a short rail link from Friedrichshaven.
