Over the past five years, Crypto Museum has made an appearance at the
Ham Radio event in Friedrichshafen (Germany). Ham Radio 2012 was organised
by the German Amateur Radio Club (DARC) and is one of the largest ham radio
events in Europe. It was held from 22 June to 1 July.

Like in other years, Crypto Museum shares its tables with
Prof. Tom Perera and his wife,
in an area known as the ENIGMA-corner.
During the three-day event, many crypto collectors from all over
Europe and even from
as far as the US
and Australia, use our tables as a meeting point.
This year we had crypto-author Klaus Schmeh as our special guest.
Klaus brought a large box with copies of his latest book Nicht
zu Knacken [1] (Unbreakable)
and was available to sign them on the spot.
Needless to say that he sold-out on the first day.
Next time he should bring some more...

This year, one hall was filled with commercial organisations, selling the
latest ham radio stuff, and two halls with surplus equipment.
As usual, we were in the first surplus hall.
The stand is usually located on a corner and has a large ENIGMA-sign
that can be spotted easily from anywhere in the hall.
There even was a real Enigma-I machine
on the stand, brought in by a German collector.
Enigma machines never fail to attract a lot of people and raise discussions.
It makes our stand one of the busiest of the event.
Over the past few years, we've even met a few real eye witnesses, who wanted
to share their story with us. Apart from an
Enigma machine
there were also a couple of
Hagelin machines
and last but not least our famous
Enigma-E self-build kit.
We had a great time. With old and new friends.
And as usual, we took more stuff home than we brought to the show...
