The Friedrichshafen Rally - 2006

This year, seven of us enjoyed another excellent visit to the Friedrichshafen Rally.  Denis G3UVR, Bob G4NCI, Phil G6IIM, John G7LLQ, Andy GM7HUD, Chris M1EEV and I.  As my 14th trip to the rally, I have to admit it's a beautiful part of the world and we again enjoyed some fine weather to visit Bregenz and the Pfander on the Thursday with a 4 hour relaxing ride on the Lake Constance Ferry 'there and back' (Dort und zurück !).

We also took advantage of the growing network of Echolink nodes, using OE9XVJ on the Pfander and DB0FIG in the suburbs of Friedrichshafen.  With 20,000+ amateurs descending on the locality we thank the repeater keepers for the use of their excellent facilities and their hard work in providing such an excellent service.

While on the Pfander we visited a raptor display which had a selection of Falcons, Eagles, Red Kite and Eagle Owls.

Here's but a selection of photos for you to enjoy:-
