After reading this article and looking at the photos, I feel as though I've been there myself. Good job.

I attended this years hammeeting for the fifth or sixth time.
As the author writes, the number of visitor acts like the sunspots: stable or increasing.
This year was a real good version. We only missed one major reseller compared to last year....classic international. With the strong EUR/weak pound I tought to make some good deals with UK reseller KENT but german reseller WIMO had much better deals.
ex.
CG-3000 ext. tuner : 230 EUR
MFJ 259 : 259 EUR
Ameritron 5 port remote switch : 160 EUR
@ flea market a lot of russian/eastern europe surplus stuff. I picked up some vacuum condensator for very good prices.
What's mekka for the moslim, is Friederichshafen for the ham. If you plan to go make sure you make hotelreservation at least 6 months in advance...
See you there in 2010.

Well, I did all three days at HamRadio and my feet are still reminding me - I've missed only 2 years in the last 20!!. It certainly was not as crowded as last year - there seemed to be more open space this year. But, in the past at the old exhibition centre - there you had real crowds. Sadly, the attendance seems to decline year on year. The attendance figures will be interesting. The fleamarket was excellent as usual. I got everything on my shopping list - including a very used but perfectly serviceable TR-751E for just 80 euros - a bargain....

The final visitor numbers were 17,400 and I think this beats Dayton, although I am not sure.
Regarding hotels, I booked two weeks before the show started through the organizers and got a room with shower at a B&B (Gasthaus) nearby for 35 euro ($45)/night, about 2km from the airport (which is on the other side of the fair grounds).
It was a great experience, and my first. Will be back next year.
73s,

This was my fifth year at the Friedrichshafen show and here are my highlights:
1) The Icom staff were happy, the Yaesu staff were puzzling and the Kenwood staff on the stand looked bored.
2) The weather was horrible and my tent is still drying out. We spent ten hours driving back through appalling weather.
3) The food was good, the beer was good and the staff running the exhibition center know what they are doing. Even on the Saturday it took only five minutes to get through the turnstiles.
4) Lots of bargains in the fleamarket and if you want good value be prepared to haggle in basic German or basic Italian.
5) No sleep. Most of the camp went to bed way WAY past midnight and if the farm cockerel didn't wake you up at dawn then the jets taking off at 0600 will.
6) Friendly people. We shared beer, food and stories and the camp was a real United Nations. I went round the camp on Saturday evening counting flags and car stickers and found 22 countries represented.
7) If you come bring Euro notes and coins. There is one ATM and one small bank and they seemed overwhelmed.
8) A handful of pretty girls including a spectacular blonde in a black & white outfit on one of the stands in Hall A on the Sunday.
Finally...............
9) The Hilberling PT-8000 is alive!! The project has been taken over by Telefunken and they promise to release the rig to the public by the end of the year.
