Finland is very flat country. It is full of one point summits. The closest two point summits are located about 800 km north from Helsinki area where I am living. The closest summit from Helsinki area is Tiirismaa OH/JS-037 where the distance is 120 km. From my point of view I am very lucky because my free time home is only 20 km from Jyränvuori, but before reaching Jyranvuori I need to drive 220 km first.
The number of SOTA activators and chasers is limited in Finland, less than ten hams per year. The father of SOTA Finland can be nominate Jaakko OH7BF/F5VGL who has been the most important messenger within ham community. Last year the most active activators where Marko OH9XX and Jari OH3KRH.
Jyranvuori OH/JS-066 activated first time 1.5.2013 by Toni OH3T. Today when we can celebrate its first year birthday it is the most activated summit in Finland, 28 summits and 1070 qsos (http://sotawatch.org/summits.php?summit=OH/JS-066). Difference to second position is 20 summits. Jyranvuori is very well reachable and many activators are living close of it.
Personally I have positive experiences only sitting in the hill and keeping qsos everywhere. Really everywhere because almost every time has been kept dx qsos also with EU qsos - nice and addictive summit!
Life goes on and Jyranvuori will be activate time to time during this year. Week 28 I will participate in FIN5 Orienteering event in Ruka area where aiming is also activate three two point summits. Distance from Helsinki area to Ruka is more than 800 km. During week 29 will be held YOTA Camp in Finland and if things goes correct manner participants get possibility to join in one SOTA summit – let see and you SOTA chasers will be informed!
The only Finnish ten point summits are located in Kilpisjarvi area in Lapland. Distance from Helsinki area is more than 1200 km. One day I will visit there again as activator because of personal reasons. One of my uncles, who was serving as remote patrol soldier during Second World War, was living in Kilpisjarvi since 1945. There he was livings as wilderness guide, photographer and sports man. In 1972 he was the first person who had guided tourists 100 times to Halti Mountain (10 points), distance from Kilpisjarvi is about 40 km. When he died in year 2000 we spread his ashes over the Saana Mountain (10 points) because he liked to live there.
