About Us

Welcome to Hams Eating Chicken.

Arne, K5ARN, started this site for LoCoARC KC5ULN in Columbus, MS.

Every Thursday some Hams would meet and eat lunch at Ryan’s and we called it “Hams Eating Chicken”. Ryan’s has since closed and now the location for Hams Eating Chicken every Thursday is announced during the Tuesday net. 

On the first Thursday of the month from about 11am until about 1pm we usually have Hams Eating Chicken at Tag’s Surf & Turf in Hamilton, MS.

This is where we meet for lunch on the first Thursday of each month.

Every other Thursday we have Hams Eating Chicken at the Lowndes County EOC located at the back part of the Lowndes Count Emergency Management Services Building. We normally will be using the door at the rear of the building and using the parking lot just outside of that door.

Some of us are members of the KC5ULN LoCoARC in Columbus, but that is not required at all. We welcome everybody, the more the merrier. If you have any interest in Ham Radio you are welcome.

Our discussions are like the winds over the ocean, changing directions all the time and occasionally turning in circles. If you have time and are in the area please join us.

Amateur Radio is the first social network, more than 100 years in existence.

The intent with the blog is to be a fun place, where we all contribute.
