A quick trip to the Funktag in Kassel

Just like two years ago, I decided to go to Kassel for the Funktag (Radio Day), even though it meant getting up at 6 a.m. to be at the bus stop on time at 7. But since it’s quite a distance from my hometown to Kassel and I had to change trains twice, I had no other choice.

I arrived at the convention center just before 11 a.m.

Here are a few photos from the trade show:

I had actually planned to attend the lecture by Martin Steyer, DK7ZB „Portabelantennen mit 5,6-m- und 2,5-m-Teleskopstrahlern“. I wanted to attend because I know his lectures are excellent. Unfortunately, the room was so crowded that I had no chance of getting a seat. At my age, however, I can’t stand for an hour, so with a heavy heart I had to skip this lecture.
