The West Fork Amateur Radio Club is a group of individuals primarily located in Wise County and surrounding counties in North Central Texas interested in pursuing and advancing the hobby of Amateur Radio (HAM Radio).
We participate in ARRL Field Day, operate Special Event Stations, provide amateur radio communications for community events, support ARES with Emergency Management communications such as Skywarn in our areas, and conduct VE testing sessions. WFARC is a ARRL Affiliated Club, and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
Meetings are held on the 4th Thursday of each month at the Paradise Fire Department at 7:00 PM. You do not need to be a member to attend, so join us.
