Informations

As in previous years, we are once again organizing the HamCamp at the HAM RADIO in Friedrichshafen.

There are 160 beds available for youngsters up to 27 years and their attendants. These are located in Hall A6. There is also a recreational area in the hall.

We are planning to set up an amateur radio station. The radio station is available partly during the day and in the evening (please bring your license). Those who have not yet earned their ham radio license may operate under supervision. Just ask the operators.

For all participants there is the possibility to take a breakfast at the "Messe Alm". Everyone is responsible for lunch and dinner. In the evening after the fair you can do a joint order at the pizza delivery service. Cold drinks are available.


A complete package is offered, consisting of:

  • 3 nights at HamCamp
  • 3-day ticket for the HAM RADIO
  • 3 breakfast vouchers
  • parking between halls A6 and A7


Complete price in 2024: 65 €
 

As last year's - rather complicated - PayPal payment option was only used by 3 people, we will not be offering it again for the time being and will return to our usual registration and payment on arrival.

 

For organizational reasons registration is necessary by 9th of June. The payment is made on-site at the entrance (see procedure). All participants will also receive admission tickets and admission to the exhibition grounds.

For further information please contact: hamcamp(at)darc.de.

Minors must submit a declaration of consent of their parents when registering

Minors under the age of 16 can only participate together with their own guardian.

  • After the registration you will receive a separate email with the registration confirmation.

  • If there are more registrations than capacity available, the date of the application decides.

  • For capacity reasons, we cannot accept registrations from persons over 27 years of age who are not supervising underage participants.

  • If you are registered, you will receive your tickets on arrival in the project management office in the "Foyer West" (payment cash, EC, Credit card).

  • There is no discount on late arrival or earlier departure.

  • You can borrow camp beds or iso-mats free of charge at the information desk (please bring your ID). Beware that there is only a limited amount of beds available. No reservations!

Arrival in the camp

Please report to the information desk or the team at the (first time) arrival in the camp. The registration and allocation of the sleeping places will be done there.  We also distribute the wristbands, which must always be worn visibly.

Children and people younger than 18 years

Minors under the age of 18 who are without an accompanying person must check out at one of the HamCamp supervisors when they leave the camp site. Of course the HamCamp may only be left in the company of a suitable person (> 18 years of age) and there must be permission from the parents explicitely allowing to leave the HamCamp.

Beds

Camp beds or mats can be borrowed free of charge at the information desk (as long as stocks last).
Please bring a passport, because you have to sign a usage agreement, in which the borrower is obliged to pay the costs if the borrowed beds / mats are not returned undamaged on the last day.

If you have one, please bring your own bed, as we don't have enough for everyone.
 

There is only one power outlet per sleeping booth. Please bring an extension cable with multiple sockets with you.

Evening program

During the fair no activities are planned for the HamCamp, as the participants are at the fair or completely outside.
Due to our experience with the last camps we offer a small evening program:
 

  • Radio operation at the station, training operation is possible

  • Tables for soldering and trying out your flea market purchases (bring your own equipment)

  • go-cart rally

  • self-organized workshops and talks

Dinner

Everyone is responsible for their own lunch and dinner. However, there is the possibility to order from a pizza delivery service. After the fairgrounds closed it is possible to join a collective order. A lot of (fast-food) restaurants are nearby. Usually there are collective orders or driving groups.

Washing facilities

Lavatories are provided by the fair. Showers and toilets can be accessed around the clock.

As the showers may be crowded especially in the morning please allow appropriate time here.
