The Burning River Traffic Net (BRTN) was started in the mid to late 70's by Will Wilson, -WA8HED (SK) and others.
Records indicate that Will was the Net Manager from 1979 until 1997. In 1997 both Will and Ron West, -N8OD, formerly
N8RBE shared the Net Manager role. In December of 1997 Lew Parsons, -N8IXF (SK) took over the Net Manager position
until only his health no longer allowed him to so in June of 2012. At that time, he appointed Dave, -W8DJG to be
Net Manager.
The BRTN is over forty years old and still going strong.
Check in to preserve, teach and or learn traffic handling skills. You will meet some interesting people and most likely make a few new contacts that may turn into life long friends.
Help keep the tradition alive.
