The Williamsburg Area Amateur Radio Club (WAARC) operated Field Day 2019 as 2A VA using the club call K4RC and a GOTA station under AI4WU. We setup in a James City County public park and operated the 24 hours running one phone station, one CW station, one 6m station and our GOTA station.

While propagation was not as good as some years and it was not our best score, we had great weather, lots of contacts, a great club effort and lots of fun.

One highlight of our Field Day was the participation at our GOTA station by nine year old Solana Stevenson (shown making contacts in photo) and her mother Mari Ann Stevenson (back left), who came with Solana’s grandfather and Mari Ann’s father Randy Altona, KM4YSN (back right), one of our club members. Also shown front left is club member Chuck White, AI4WU, the GOTA coach. The photo is by club member Dan Ewart, WG4F. Solana is very interested in amateur radio and hopes to be in our next club Technician license class.
