YLFF-147 "Mint forest"

14th September of 2013.
From YLFF-111 expedition way led me to Lejasciems, local village with some shops where I bought paper "logbook" to fix my QSOs as the laptop was out of use at that moment. Obviously there were some repairs on local gravel roads, but the quality was far from best. The area was reached very easily, as the planned operation site was just off the main road going through that area. Antenna was erected quickly and high - about 20m over the ground level. The operating position was just below the antenna. Pileups were fine and much better than from previous place. In 2,5 hours I made 246 QSOs and dismantled the equipment in darkness. This day I was off the family for whole day, about 13 hours and drove some 230km, most of them on local gravel roads where I never was not before although it is not too far from my QTH.
