I was able to get to that website using Firefox just fine.  Chrome is overly 
anal about security (which is absolutely silly since the stuff on Hamdata is 
public record anyway) and while the owners of Hamdata need to fix their broken 
website, it is still functional.

My website(s) are designed to work with or without https.  I have nothing on 
any of my websites that is not meant for public view so while my webhost 
offers free SSL certs for my websites, I don't openly advertise it.  I think 
it's silly at times that a simple website with public info on it has to be 
"secure" like that.  A site with highly personal info like banking?  Sure.  
But a site that regurgitates public information?  Not so much.
