The Atlanta Rabbits Amateur Radio Club was formed in 2015 by a small group of students attending the Atlanta Independent School District in Atlanta, Texas. The radio rabbits were excited to get a club call sign, a website, and a VHF repeater.

Since that time, the website content management software had become outdated. In 2020, with the massive shelter-in-place orders, it gave the radio rabbits some time to regroup and rebuild their website.

Today, the new website is being launched. The radio rabbits will work diligently on transferring old information to this new website.
