Police Amateur Radio Team
of Westford, Massachusetts
An ARRL Special Service Club
WB1GOF
Our diverse membership has interests ranging from public service support and community outreach, to radio contesting, equipment construction, radio fox hunting, and more. In fact, it is the diversity of our interests that has kept the club strong and vibrant throughout its 45+ year run.
If you have an interest in ham radio but don't know how to get started, please join us at one of our club meetings.

Congratulations to Megan Wagner, KC1FGH, of Westford, for receiving the Androscoggin Amateur Radio Club scholarship award through the ARRL Foundation! Megan is the daughter of PART members Wayne, AG1A, and Michelle, K9DOG, and the sister of Mikayla, N1BKR, so she comes from a “four ham family.” Megan will be attending UMass Amherst in the fall, majoring in biology.

WB1GOF repeaters are now operating from antennas on the new water tower in Westford. Please send signal reports to repeater@wb1gof.org.
During this time of "social distancing," there's a new PART net on 10 meters. We meet occasionally at 7:30 PM local time on 28.400 MHz. There's usually someone listening, so if you don't hear anyone, just announce that you're on frequency or call CQ. Thanks to Bob, W1IS, for setting this up.
