In the event of an emergency of any nature, upon activation by the Dale County Emergency Management Agency Director, amateur radio operators stand ready to assist in communications in whatever capacity needed. This is made possible by an active group of radio amateurs (hams) who devote their time and equipment to public service for the people of Dale County.
K4OZK is the amateur station in the Dale County E.M.A. office in Ozark. The station has been named the Gilbert Jones Memorial Amateur Radio Station, in memory of Gil Jones, WL7EC (SK) who passed away March 31, 1997. Gil was very instrumental in the development and organization of the Dale County ARES group and the installation of K4OZK.
