In Virginia, cities are independent of counties and are included in the County numbers in this table. The total number of reports does not reflect reports called directly to WX4AKQ at the Wakefield WFO, bypassing local nets (for example, HF, Winlink, APRS, and packet reports). Headcount indicates the number of amateur radio team members with primary assignment in each area. All data is updated nightly.
