Williams County Once had a vibrant “Ham” Community and Club as verified by several outside clubs on our neighboring borders.  My goal is to re-grow this Counties Amateur Radio Association by service to our communities, aiding and walking with new Hams helping them so they can grow in their interest and talent, Help by providing a vibrant training and licensing group and hosting and participating in community events and operation.
