WWFF: OH1NOA/P Soivion metsä OHFF-0200
I am slowly writing few words about my World Wide Flora Fauna trips. Last I wrote before this was one Ritajärven suojelualue OHFF-0279 in September. Same day, the 30th of September, I continued to Sovion metsä (The Sovio Forest). It is on the East side of Karkku village center, next to Jyränvuori (180m above the sea level hill). The area itself is also some 100-120m above the sea level with the nice takeoff to SouthWest to Lake Rautavesi. To reach the area, you need to turn from the road 2505 to the northernmost smaller road going to South. The road before it has the closed gate.
Jyränvuori has actually SOTA-reference, maybe somewhere in the future I will activate that one too – just to check the wiev. OHFF-0200 had nice old mixed forest, old spruces, pines, birches and lots of moss. At the end of the road there was quite nice area to park. Then I needed to “climb” 50-100 meters into the reference area. At the border there was a green protected area sign. QTH was very good and reference was rare too – only the 2nd activation, so pileups were good. My signal sounded loud even I had to set my station up to the small aread between the woods to the sloping ground. I made 182 qsos and 163 unique calls in less than 2 hours. It was my record after 9 references.
