The Green Mountain Wireless Society was founded in
December of 1980 by a small group of Amateur Radio Operators in Rutland
County, Vermont. The club was formed as a
general interest radio club, while several members also began building a
repeater to cover the local valley.
GMWS publishes a monthly newsletter, Key
Klicks. The club has operated Field Day and some special events such as the
Coolidge Memorial from Plymouth
State 
Park, Walk America, Boy Scout Jamboree on the Air, as well as RACES and ARES events. The GMWS has
sponsored Novice/Tech courses and regular VE sessions. The GMWS is an ARRL (American
Radio Relay League) affiliated club, and has been designated as a special
service club: a club that makes significant contributions to amateur radio, and
also serves the Rutland area community at large.
Now boasting of more than 70 members from a wide geographic
range, club members support the W1GMW repeater (147.045 -/+ 600) on Boardman
Hill southwest of
Rutland
. 
Meetings are held at
7 P.M.
on the second Tuesday of each month at the Red Cross Building in
Rutland
. The GMWS club call-signs are W1GMW and WG1Q (The Joe Fish Memorial Station).
The GMWS also operates and maintains the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at the Rutland Headquarters
office of the American Red Cross,
Central Vermont
--Upper Valley Chapter.
