On Saturday 28 June 2014 my father (HB9CZI) and I visited HAM Radio in Friedrichshafen. At 12pm several SOTA activators and chasers met at the QSL wall and right after we set off to activate HB/TG-003 followed by HB/TG-002. Weather on Ottebärg (HB/TG-003) was still dry and the bench offered a nice operating position. On Imenberg (HB/TG-002) several spells of rain were experienced during the drive and walk to the activation area. Luckily the 20 min on air were dry and even the sun came out.
