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.

Directions to the Hand Shake at the Farm of K4ELO.
The farm is located in southern Kentucky about halfway between Franklin and Russellville, KY.
Follow highway 100 west from Franklin, approximately 10 mile. You be looking for Rutherford Road, which crosses highway 10 at the tiny community of Middleton. Middleton is on the north side of highway 100. You can see a few houses and churches from highway 100. Turn south on Rutherford Road. About 100 feet down the road, turn west on Hickman Mill Road. Approximately 1.75 miles down the road you see two houses on sthe south side of the road. The first house is set back quite a bit from the road and second one is closer to the road with a small flag pole next to it's driveway. K4ELO's driveway is directly across from the second house. Follow the driveway north until you see the fork off to your right before you get to the brick house. Follow that fork to the right, past the old barn, and you will see antennas.
We will do our best to monitor 7.192 and the local repeater at 145.600 for those of you with mobiles.
If all else fails and you get lost, the cell phone number is 270-282-3550.
For those of you who would like to camp out. Wayne says there is plenty of room on the farm for RV's and Tents.
There are NO HOOK UPS however. But we are working on Pot-a-Potties.
Let us know if you would like camp out at the farm.
