Ham Family’s Sunshine Journey

In a world where signals dance across the air,
Where frequencies hum and voices declare,
There shines a beacon of radiant light,
Solana, our sunshine, gleaming so bright.

A Field Day Event sparked her youthful desire,
In 2019, her heart caught fire,
Ham radio's magic captured her gaze,
A passion ignited in those early days. 

With her mother, Mari Ann, by her side,
They ventured forth, their knowledge to abide,
Technician class exam they did take,
At nine years old, a milestone they did make.

Solana, N4SOL, her call sign they gave,
A mark of dedication and courage so brave,
Mari Ann, KD4SGC, her mother stands tall,
Together they embrace the radio's call.

April 26, 2021, a day to remember,
Their General licenses, a glowing ember,
As a Ham Family, they proudly stand, Grandparents, Randy, W4YSN, and Patti, KB4PAT, hand in hand.

Solana, a granddaughter cherished and dear,
Bathed in love from those so near,
A lineage of hams, a legacy shared,
With every transmission, their bond is declared.

This past weekend, Solana did shine,
Field Day with WAARC, a moment divine,
With the Williamsburg Area Amateur Radio Club,
She immersed herself, her spirit did scrub.

A coach for the GOTA station, she guided with care,
For youth, a mentor, her wisdom to share,
The control operator on SSB she danced through the night,
A voice of passion, reaching great height.

But beyond the airwaves, her heart takes flight,
For dancing is her joy, a dazzling sight,
Ballet, Tap, and Contemporary too,
Her movements grace, her spirit anew.

Solana, our sunshine, a beacon so bright,
In the realm of ham radio, a radiant light,
May your journey be filled with joy and delight,
As you dance through life, forever taking flight.
