Over twenty-five years ago, local hams founded the Wiregrass Amateur Radio Club (WARC),  with the purpose of serving and educating the community in the art of Amateur Radio.  WARC believes in Community Service. Through emergency preparedness exercises, roadside assistance for motorists, and just good old communications assistance at local events, WARC has become a vital member of the communities public service network. We support the American Red Cross and EMA with communications to emergency shelters and back up communications to state and federal agencies. We provide backup communications and coordination for the National Peanut Festival and the Peanut Parade.
