Peninsula Amateur Radio Club
PARC was originally formed sometime in the mid 1930's prior to WWII, but was inactive during the war years because Amateur Radio activities were prohibited. After the war, Amateurs from Newport News, Hampton and surrounding areas reorganized the club around 1946 when Amateur Radio operations were again allowed. PARC was very active in Civil Defense Emergency Communications during the ensuing years. PARC ceased formal operations for a short time in the late 1960's. The Virginia Amateur Communications Association (VACA) was organized in March 1978 and conducted classes for new Amateurs, just as we do today. VACA was known as a fun and family oriented organization, as it promoted get togethers for members and families. We, proudly, carry on that tradition. In April 1989, VACA and PARC were consolidated. The result is the present PARC. 		 7.0 - 1 vote - 20
