16th March of 2013.

Again after successfull DX hunting on topband where 2 new ones were worked(1S and FS) from countryside position, I decided to activate one new YLFF territory on my way to home. This time it was Rauza - YLFF170.  The main problem in winter is to find the place to park the car and this time I found it very fast. That was a turaround place cleaned from snow recently. The antenna push-up was easiest ever. With only one try at each end it was done. Although the antenna balun was practically on the pine branch, it did not affected the operationality at all. The propagation was good and thus several JAs and VEs were logged among others. In less than 4 hours 258QSOs were made. Due to Russian DX contest I did not reach the 300QSO mark this time but I hope to do it next time.
