North Alabama Tech Team providing LIVE Continious Coverage of the Huntsville Hamfest, in Huntsville Alabama Von Braun Center South Hall August 19 & 20, 2023 700 Monroe St SW, Huntsville, AL 35801 Hours: Saturday 9 AM — 4:30 PM, Sunday 9 AM — 3 PM The origins of the Huntsville Hamfest date back to August 1954 when the annual North Alabama Hamfest alternated between the communities of Huntsville, Decatur, and Florence. After a few years the Hamfest was held in Decatur in the odd numbered years and in Huntsville in the even numbered years. The Huntsville location was in the lobby of what was known as “The Mall”, located at the corner of University Drive and the Parkway, and was a one-day (Sunday) event with an outdoor flea market and a Saturday night banquet. Several ham organizations used upstairs rooms for meetings but there were no forums. In 1980 the North Alabama Hamfest used the just-opened Von Braun Center. It was still a one-day event but now the Flea Market was indoors and there were much better facilities for meetings & forums. With the success of the 1980 event, in 1981 the North Alabama Hamfest became the Huntsville Hamfest, a two-day event with forums, meetings, and other activities on both days. Since 1981 the Hamfest has grown to use 100K square feet of air-conditioned space in the VBC South Hall, with additional space available to meet expanding needs. Today the Hamfest offers a growing list of commercial vendors, a notable list of Forum presenters with many drawn from the local high tech aerospace community, and a vibrant indoor flea market. A Youth Lounge, with a focus on demos & kit-building for folks of all ages was added in 2010. Its popularity drove the organizers to increase the size of the Youth Lounge by 50% in 2018. Throughout the growth of the Huntsville Hamfest the local Huntsville Amateur Radio Club, founded in 1952, and other clubs have supplied a large group of dedicated & friendly volunteers help to ensure a pleasurable weekend. The Huntsville Hamfest has hosted the ARRL Alabama Section convention and in alternate years the Southeastern Division convention. Twice, in 1993 and 2007, Huntsville has hosted the ARRL National convention. Never outgrown however, is the small town southern hospitality we extend to our visitors & vendors. Once you experience The World’s Friendliest Hamfest, we’re sure you’ll agree and will want to make Huntsville a regular destination on your annual Hamfest schedule..

A Storm Surge Warning means there is a danger of life-threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline, in the indicated locations. For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov. This is a life-threatening situation. Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions. Promptly follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. A Storm Surge Watch means there is a possibility of life- threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline, in the indicated locations during the next 48 hours. For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov. Interests in the remainder of Florida and along the southeastern coast of the United States should monitor the progress of Nicole. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 700 AM EST (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Nicole was located inland over central Florida near latitude 28.1 North, longitude 81.6 West. Nicole is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h). A turn toward the northwest and north-northwest is expected later today and tonight, followed by an acceleration toward the north and north-northeast on Friday. On the forecast track, the center of Nicole will move across central Florida this morning, possibly emerge over the far northeastern Gulf of Mexico this afternoon, and then move across the Florida Panhandle and Georgia tonight and on Friday. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 60 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast while Nicole moves over land during the next day or two, and the storm is likely to become a tropical depression over Georgia tonight or early Friday. Nicole is expected to merge with a frontal boundary over the Mid-Atlantic United States by Friday night.
