Welcome to the Baldwin County Amateur Radio Club on the web. On
these pages you will learn about who we are and what amateur
radio is all about. We serve all areas of expansive
Baldwin County Alabama. We provide severe weather reports
and shelter assistance to emergency management,
public service, and civil defense agencies. We also have a
lot of fun and reap a lot of enjoyment and education from our
hobby. Ham radio is a family oriented activity open to all
ages. We hope you enjoy our site and visit some of the
many amateur radio related links we have provided. Please
