Alabama thread!

Hah, poor dude's trying to get to ATL? Sure didn't plan that one out well to end up on that side of the clouds..

Edit: oh, I was looking at b-ham, but still not looking good for him lol

bye ramblin man

 

Holding pattern for now right near my house

 

Haaaave you met Ted?



Why Trey?

 

I'm just a smart guy that's an ass.

he said smartass, so I turned to you...could've picked anybody in here really.

 

I might

Maybe

Can be seen as a smartass

Sometimes

 

I’m thinking there’s enough of us local that maybe we can contact them in Columbus and see if they will hold a exam for us in a few weeks.

Maybe AU radio club?

 

That would be nice. They used to have an exam in Auburn every Friday at noon located in Zoes Kitchen on West Magnolia. I haven't found that listed anywhere though so I guess they stopped that jazz

 

Maybe because it’s summer and most are out right now? Their FB page was dead as hell for like 6 months then out of the blue they post a radio event. They might be the better option of getting one for us anyway.

 

I know a guy that I took CERT classes with that got his Tech license over there. Let me DM him on Instagram and see what I can come up with.

 

@medic2230 he said he took it from AU Ham radio club. Also said to check out East Alabama Radio club

http://www.w4lee.org/aboutw4lee.html

Edit: He's finding out when the AU club test next

 

Is EARC even still doing anything? Last even they posted was 2015 and I thought I saw something elsewhere about them taking repeaters down and selling them.

 

If they do, they are talking about it elsewhere on another site. That website looks to have been forgotten about.

 

Yeah the other one W4LEE.net or whatever it is is completely down too.

 

As well as the East Alabama Skywarn net. Last thing posted in there was 2013. I guess we need to fill the void yo yo yo!

 

I imagine it takes a lot of time and work to keep a club going with members and then buying, upkeep and sites for repeaters. Would take a good bit of members to get the funds for that kinda stuff. Not to mention all the time maintaining a website and social media.

Could still start a small club and see where it goes.

 

We've successfully knocked the Ham radio bs thread down to page 3 of the search on TW. lol
