WWFF: OH1NOA/P Lavijärven-Palojärven kalliot OHFF-0275
After few weeks absence from WWFF, I had time to hit the road again. On the 20th of October 2018, Saturday, my first area was OHFF-0275 Lavijärven-Palojärven kalliot. It is a kind of hill view place in the border of former Lavia (now a part of Pori) and Suodenniemi.
Operation took place at Pirulanvuori (=Devil’s Mountain) next to the observation tower on it. There is a parking lot next to road 259. Then you need to take a path up to the tower. It is maybe 200 meters hike uphill. I set up my station next to the tower near the cliff with takeoff to the Palojärvi lake toward the west. I also climbed to the tower, it has outstanding view to the lakes of Palojärvi, Lavijärvi and Miekkajärvi. This scenery is used in the backside of Finnish 1 euro coin! Certainly one of the finest sceneries where I have operated.
We had nice sunny weather, very cold: +2C but early morning propagation was super good. I operated a bit longer than usual as pileups were so good, so I ended to 258 qsos with 218 different stations in 2 hours 10 minutes. It is so far (as 04/2019) my personal record and hard to beat!
