MILITARY/AMATEUR CROSSBAND COMMUNICATIONS TEST
(14-15 MAY 2005)
1. THE ARMY, AIR FORCE, NAVY, MARINE CORPS, AND COAST GUARD ARE CO-
SPONSORING THE ANNUAL MILITARY/AMATEUR RADIO COMMUNICATIONS TESTS IN
CELEBRATION OF THE 55TH ANNIVERSARY OF ARMED FORCES DAY (AFD).
ALTHOUGH THE ACTUAL ARMED FORCES DAY IS CELEBRATED ON SATURDAY, MAY
21, 2005, THE ARMED FORCES DAY MILITARY/AMATEUR CROSSBAND
COMMUNICATIONS TEST WILL BE CONDUCTED ONE WEEK EARLIER ON MAY 14,
2005 (LOCAL). THE REASON IS SO THE AFD MILITARY/AMATEUR CROSSBAND
COMMUNICATIONS TEST WILL NOT CONFLICT WITH THE DAYTON HAMVENTION
(20-22 MAY 2005), WHICH IS ON THE SAME WEEKEND AS THE ACTUAL ARMED
FORCES DAY.
2. THE ANNUAL CELEBRATION FEATURES TRADITIONAL MILITARY TO AMATEUR
CROSS BAND COMMUNICATIONS SSB VOICE TEST AND THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
MESSAGE-RECEIVING TEST. THESE TESTS GIVE AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS AND
SHORT WAVE LISTENERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR INDIVIDUAL
TECHNICAL SKILLS AND RECEIVE RECOGNITION FROM THE SECRETARY OF
DEFENSE AND/OR THE APPROPRIATE MILITARY RADIO STATION FOR THEIR
PROVEN EXPERTISE.
3. QSL CARDS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THOSE MAKING CONTACT WITH THE
MILITARY STATIONS. SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE CERTIFICATES WILL BE AWARDED
TO ANYONE WHO RECEIVES AND COPIES THE DIGITAL ARMED FORCES DAY
MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.
4. PART I. MILITARY-TO-AMATEUR CROSS BAND SSB TEST CONTACTS.
MILITARY-TO-AMATEUR CROSS BAND OPERATIONS WILL TAKE PLACE ON THE
DATES/TIMES IN ZULU (UTC), AND FREQUENCIES LISTED BELOW FOR EACH
STATION. VOICE CONTACTS WILL INCLUDE OPERATIONS ON SINGLE SIDEBAND
VOICE (SSB). SOME STATIONS MAY NOT OPERATE THE ENTIRE PERIOD,
DEPENDING ON PROPAGATION AND MANNING. PARTICIPATING MILITARY

LISTEN FOR AMATEUR RADIO STATIONS IN THE AMATEUR BANDS INDICATED
