Women amateur radio operators began meeting and holding a Net in Seaside, OR around 2007, naming the group WHO in 2012.

Many of us become interested in ham radio through emergency preparedness. Amateur radio provides a vital communications tool when the power is out for any length of time, which happens often here in the Pacific Northwest.

WHO focuses on providing a comfortable, welcoming venue for practicing communication skills, asking questions about equipment and protocol, learning to participate in a Net and to serve as Net Control, and relaying amateur radio and emergency prep information.
