About
Built for clarity, not clutter.
This site is intended to become a clean, practical reference for local radio operators: repeater details, access notes, project status, and contact information without burying the useful parts in static.
The WestCO system has been designed, built, and maintained by Keri Varela, N2KNK. WestCO is not a club, group, or really an organization, but a desire to give back to the ham radio community that she lives in. All of the equipment, time, and tears were donated, purchased, or repurposed by Keri and a few wonderful people that have donated funds or equipment.
She would love to let you know that everything is not cheap and would respectfully accept any donations you can offer. If you would be as wonderful as you are to others, please keep this in mind: there are no dues to use the system, but there are still continual cost ramifications. Keri and the WestCO system are NOT a 501(c)(3) organization, so anything you can offer is nothing less than a blessing.
