I am  considering getting a GMRS radio system to connect with friends and family is the Clay County,AL area. It is quite mountainous and wooded so I would like to know if there is a repeater in this area that I could join.

I’m sorry, I don’t know where Clay Co. is in Alabama, but there are 82 repeaters listed in Alabama including some that might no longer be operating.  If you click on Repeaters on the menu above, you can find the ones closest to you or you can click on Map and see what’s on the map closest to you.  I’ll put the links below:

Clay County, Alabama is slighty east of Birmingham, south of Talladega National Forest.

OP, it looks like there are three repeaters south of Bimringham. Best bet is probably going to be Shades Mountain 625. It looks like it's a private repeater, though.  

Info here.

@Northcutt114 just an FYI as I’m sure you are unaware and I’m sure your intentions were good but it is against the sites rules (found here) to post repeater information (especially tones on a private repeater) to the forum site. The forum is public while the repeater site info is reserved for members. You can link to the repeater and if the guest is a member they can see the info, but you shouldn’t post it here.

This is to protect sensitive information from being picked up and indexed by search engines such as Google and Bing.

I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up. I edited my post.

No worries, I was sure you were only trying to help. I purposely didn’t quote your post so it wouldn’t be saved in mine.
