Update August 2024
When I started this website nearly 10 years ago, I believed–and still do–that amateur radio needs REGIONAL websites with basic information for both new hams and for emergencies. When I was new to amateur radio, I found a lot of information spread out among all the clubs and agencies in the area. Some seemed rarely updated. I worked at trying to keep this one updated for a few years.
If I was retired and not working, I’d go around to the all the clubs and ask them for support…like someone on the club who would just look at Central Alabama Ham periodically and feed me information that needed updating. But I didn’t get that done. So, this website is not up-to-date. It’s too bad. I’m going to hang on to the URL and keep the website up. Maybe I’ll retire one day!
Thanks,

We’re building a website for ham operators in these counties in central Alabama: Jefferson, Shelby, Bibb, Blount, Cullman, Fayette, St. Clair, Talladega, Tuscaloosa, & Walker. We’re focusing on VHF/UHF activity, at least for now. The idea is a quick and easy place to look up frequently used information, and to provide a consolidated calendar of ham-related events in those counties. It will be increasingly useful as people participate and send in information.
We also hope this site will be helpful as a place for announcements and to get the word out on special events. For more, read here.
Note: This is not a commercial venture. This website is free-of-charge and no revenues are collected from any source. It is a public service offered to ham radio operators.
