The BRTN was started in the mid to late 70's by Will Wilson WA8HUD (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 took over the postion and still holds it today.  That is right, the BRTN is over thirty years old and still going strong.  We would love to have you become a part of the net as well, so stop by and join us! [If you were a net control station or have more information concerning the history of the BRTN please email us.]
