The Jim Bell Wireless Association Amateur Radio Club supports amateur radio operators (Hams) in South Central Alabama. We offer a variety of activities to encourage the use of amateur radio.

 The Jim Bell Wireless Association is made up of Amateur Radio Operators from Butler, Crenshaw, Lowndes and Montgomery counties in Alabama. The name honors one of our founders, the late Jim Bell, K4TNS. Jim was revered as a mentor to many electronics students who studied under him at Reid State and was also the Butler County EMA Director, then known as the Civil Defense Director.
