The Intercon Net was formally "founded" on September 8, 1960, by seven stations.  These seven stations decided to meet twice weekly under the "NCS" Naval Reserve Amateur Radio Station K4NAA, Arlington, Virginia.  Among the early calls were K4AAM, K3FAR, K5AGJ, K0TON, K4BOB AND K4CRU.  The first Net Manager was Dave - K5OFH , chief operator of K4NAA and he said,

"Each station may take great pride in his contribution toward making this Net a place where the elite meet to pass the time of day and handle traffic."

The Net has expanded over the years to the present, seven days per week programming.  "INTERCON" is a well disciplined operation offering it's services to amateurs world-wide.  The list of Net Managers is as follows:

• K5OFH  - Dave  1960-Approx 1964
• N4CRU  - Phil  1964-1968
• WA4VHM - Dick  1968-1972
• W4BOZ  - Hugh  1972-1976
• KB5CU  - Jim   1976-1983
• K4PT   - Ed    1973-1992
• N4LMC  - Ruth  1992-2000
• AA4EE  - Bob   2000
• WB2BMC - Phil  2000-2002
• K4ZQ   - Ernie 2002 to present
  

When W4BOZ was Net Manager he (along with XE1FFF and K4PT) implemented the idea of "one frequency".  At that time the Net operated between 14320 and 14330.  Over the past decade, the Intercon Net, the Maritime Mobile Service Net, and the Coast Guard Net, and just recently, the Pacific Seafarers Net, have been operating on 14.300 MHz, for a combined 24-hour coverage on one frequency.
