Welcome to the W4DGH Website.
Winlink Addition to Tower Hill
There is now a VHF Winlink Gateway on Tower Hill at the top of Lookout Mtn. in Fort Payne. Thanks to Jimmy Killian KK4ICU, Scott Azbell KQ4VET, Josh Brooks W3JKB, Colton Jones W4CAJ for donations and setting it up. VHF winlink allows for faster data transfer than HF offers. Send messages, files, photos from your 2 meter radio and a computer. We also host a weekly net on Tuesday through Winlink. If you would like to check in please click here.
ARRL Field Day 2025
Field Day 2025 at Northeast College was a huge success. DeKalb and Jackson County clubs met at the college and set up radios and operated almost the entire 24 hrs. DeKalb setup a high-power voice, a digital, and a QRP CW transmitter. Thank you to Northeast College for once again hosting Field Day. If you would like to view photos from 2025 Field Day Click Here

ARRL Field Day 2024
Field Day 2024 at Northeast Community College was a success. This was the first DeKalb/Jackson field day combining both clubs. We had two new techs get their license and we ran all transmitters almost for the whole event. Not one person left unhappy with the event, and we had the privilege to introduce a few to Amateur Radio. Thank you Dr. Campbell for allowing both clubs to meet on campus for Field Day 2024.
