A welcoming community of operators across North Central Texas — on the air and on the ground.
The West Fork Amateur Radio Club brings together operators across Wise County and the surrounding counties of North Central Texas, all sharing one hobby — and a willingness to lend a hand on the air and in the community.
New or experienced, licensed or just curious, you're invited to join us at a meeting and make a contact.
Because of a scheduling conflict at the Paradise Fire Department, this month's club meeting will be held at the Cottondale Fire Department instead — Thursday, September 24 at 7:00 PM. Same night, same time, new location.
