The 28 counties & cities shaded in light green in the table below had no logs submitted by fixed-site Virginia stations for 5 years. The QTHs shaded in light blue had less than 5 fixed-site logs in the last 2 years! Surprisingly, even cities like Manassas Park, Richmond, Petersburg and others have not submitted logs in years. If you live in or near these locations, your callsign will be in demand and help you chase the many plaque award categories for Virginia operators.
