How The Brothers Net was founded:

One evening in 2009 WA9KFB Phil was cruisin around the band when he came upon a QSO.  While listening to the QSO he heard one of the guys mention he was originally from Wisconsin.  After the QSO ended, WA9KFB Phil struck up a QSO with NØDNR Larry.  During their converstation each discovered they had brothers still living in Wisconsin, and each of the brothers now had their fathers call sign.  WOW  how  wild was that!  WA9KFB's brother WA9KMB Kurt lived in Medford, WI and NØDNR's brother K9RCE Ted lived in Baraboo, WI.  Well the freindship was formed.  After the four of them had several QSO's they decided to start a net.  The Brothers Net first born on February 14, 2009.  With a whopping check in of 5 Hams.

As most of you know .
We have been experiencing
extreme intentional interference every night on the net.  The time has come for us to band together and inform the FCC of this problem.  To the right is the best procedure to use for reporting intentional interference.

Brothers Net Check In Procedures 

The Brothers Net Uses it's own custom built Net Logger.  It is:  www.brothersnetlogger.net


Once the NCS has opened the Logger you can log in.

The Brothers Net takes Check Ins THREE WAYS..


1)  By Call Signs on the Net Monitor. 
     This method is used as a Prelist before
     the net begins.

2)  By request on the  Instant Messenger.

3)  By Voice.


Once the net has started.  The NCS will take 
Check Ins by voice only or by request on the AIM.

The NCS will call for additional Check Ins between every 7 to 10 stations worked.


Unless you have an emergency...DO NOT call over the top of the NCS or others.


DO NOT USE THE WORD CONTACT TO CHECK INTO THE NET.  This only serves to disrupt the Net & the NCS.


DO NOT USE YOUR LIFETIME NUMBER OR CALL SIGN TO CHECK INTO THE NET UNTIL THE NCS CALLS FOR CHECK INS.


If you have a comment...by all means use the word Comment to get the attention of the NCS.


If you have to step away from your shack.  Upon return simply say Re Check to be acknowledged.


By observing these few directions.  The net will run smoothly and all will get their chance.
