ON7DQ Friedrichshafen 2024 - Day 8

This day, another long drive, from Saulgrub to Friedrichshafen.

The APRS track shows how we got there.

  

DL/AL-171, Eisenberg - 1053m, 2 points  

A first stop at a SOTA summit, free parking and free access to the Eisenberg Castle on the summit.

Parking spot is here 47.612489, 10.592553
It's only a 10 minute walk to the castle.
I found a nice bench opposite the entrance to set up my station.

And how thoughtful, on the wall of the tower behind the bench, someone had put a hook where I could attach my 9:1 UNUN.

Strange results of this activation : 12 QSO's, and most seem to come from one direction !
Maybe the castle worked as a reflector ? hi

Anyway, 9 of the 12 QSO's were S2S, incredible !

Lindau

Then it was again time for some tourism ... we made a short stop in Lindau, 

This is a town built on an island in the Bodensee. We parked outside the city on the mainland (pos 47.550631, 9.691787), and took the Landtorbrücke for a short walk around the city. It has a nice harbour where some ferryboats come and go, connecting several cities around the Bodensee.

After that it was time to find our AirBnb in Friedrichshafen, where we arrived around 16:50 local time.
