It’s just over 3 weeks to the rally now and as in previous years I suggest SOTA afficonados meet up by the QSL Wall at 12.00pm for the usual chatting photos and probably a beer!
I’ll be there for both Friday and Saturday. Also I know the G3UFO, GW4OKT, G4OBK, G4OOE, AD5A will visiting the rally at some time. Rob DM1CM (SOTA mapping project author) will along on one day as well.
Who else will be there?

In reply to DF3MC:
Expect to be in FN all three days, so will try to make the meet-ups and if possible also the SOTA related presentations.
Is the Central foyer, where the QSL wall is? Otherwise I will have a problem attending your and Emil’s presentation Martin as it is at the same time as the SOTA meetup on Saturday - at the QSL Wall.

Yes Andy / all,
Nick G4OOE and I will be at the Messe Friedrichshafen on Friday and Saturday. My last visit there was in 2009.
We also hope to activate OE/VB-512 Pfander late Friday and DM/BW-349 and BW-350 late Saturday. We are looking forward to the show and meeting with SOTA contacts face to face.

I will be at the QSL wall on Friday and eventually also on Saturday. I hope to activate from HB0 on Thursday. The WX forecast looks favorable.

The weather forecast look good for the weekend, so i will try to activate some summits during my trip to Friedrichshafen.
On Thursday after the arrival in the Bregenz Region i will do an evening activation on
HIRSCHBERG 1095m, OE/VB-509
On Friday my plan is to activate
AUGSTENBERG 2359m, HB0/LI-004
GORFION 2308m, OE/VB-241 (NOT SURE)
On Saturday i’m going to Friedrichshafen and hopefully will meet lots of SOTA-HAMS at the QSL-Wall!
On Sunday, before heading home again i will activate
RANGENBERG 828m, DM/BW-088
If you want you can follow me online:

Hi Martin,
I also have Rangenberg planned for my return journey on Sunday afternoon. Hoping to catch some of the SOTA Cycling activators in the UK who will be out on Sunday, your morning activation is more likely to catch them I suspect.
At present the weather forecast is not good for Sunday - but that can change.
73 Ed.
P.S. heading out this morning to activate Weichberg DL/AL-179 and hopefully work some others activating summits on their way to FN.
In reply to DD5LP:
It was great meeting up with the SOTA hams at the QSL wall at Ham Radio. I had a chance to activate HB/ZH-004 on Thursday 26 June.
Enjoyed my visit to Ham Radio
Dennis,DL/ZS4BS
On Thursday while en-route to Friedrichhafen I could activate Augstenberg HB0/LI-004 and Gorfion OE/VB-241.
I was at the 12 o’clock meeting both days, Friday and Saturday. There were about 20 - 25 people showing each day. It was nice to meet some old friends and to match faces to well-known callsigns, also to trade tipps on accessing mountains.
The weather was dry and not too hot. Many participants used the opportunity to activate summits in the surrounding area. With so many hams in the area activations on 2m FM were remarkebly easy. I wish, it would be this way throughout the year…
73 Heinz, OE5EEP
In reply to DD5LP:
Due to the heavy, constant rain on Sunday, I didn’t manage the Rangenberg activation on my way home from Friedrichshafen. That one will stay in the “to be activated” list waiting for the better weather.
Thanks to all the SOTA activators and chasers at Friedrichshafen and especially to Emil DL8JJ and Martin DF3MC for their presentations given at the event. SOTA Extreme is definately what Emil does - crikey!
73 'til the next summit Ed DD5LP
