Welcome to the Durham FM Association
The Durham FM Association is a group of friendly amateur radio operators interested in all aspects of amateur radio service. Members in Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and surrounding areas of North Carolina enjoy operating through VHF and UHF repeaters sponsored and maintained by the club. Currently the club operates FM voice repeaters on 145.450-, 147.225+, 224.260-, 444.100+ and 444.450+ mhz(the plus and minus indicating standard offsets on the respective bands). We meet on the 1st Tuesday of the month (see Calendar) with Dinner (optional) at 6:00pm and the business meeting and program at 7:00pm. We are meeting at Bullock's BBQ, on 3330 Quebec Drive in Durham. [click for map] (For more info on each meeting, check the Calendar entry.) Our club runs a great hamfest toward the end of May each year. The DurHamFest was held in the Little River Community Complex the last three year and is expected to be there again in 2010. Dealers sell new and used equipment, books, and parts. "Tailgaters" also offer much used equipment. Besides the buying, selling, and trading, door prizes and fellowship with old and new friends make this a real fun event.
This web page is a work in progress. Please give us feedback at the meeting telling us what you do and don't like on this web site. Thanks!

Cindy Bailey, Director of Durham County Animal Shelter, will be presenting disaster preparedness for pet owners. An active member of the Durham APS, she has been involved in emergency rescue operations during natural disasters like Floyd. Having previously worked with amateur radio operators, Cindy hopes to discuss the role she believes we would fill in future situations. Information on disaster planning resources for pet owners, evacuation planning, and other suggestions for emergency preparedness with pets will be provided.
Members are encouraged to bring donation items like old towels or bath rugs, canned dog and cat food, chicken-based baby food (stage 1) for newborn kittens, if desired. With the current economy, donations are down and surrendered pets have increased. A complete list of needed items has been provided by Sarah Liddy (XYL of Ben Liddy, KB4NQH), and is available at "read more".

Please come out and volunteer to help with the 35th annual DurHamFest. Paul and Linda have been working hard behind the scenes to make it a success, but we need plenty of volunteers to make it all run smoothly. Show and tell items are welcome.
