[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Military QRPx Contest/Exercise/QSO Party?

[Don Lewis]

Joe, looks like an Army-sponsored event based out of Ft  Hood, TX,
according to military news reporting from last year, see link below.  I
have never heard of this event, although I know there has been a resurgence
of interest in HF in recent years.  I like the idea, given the
vulnerabilities of SATCOM systems.  Before the emergence of tactical SATCOM
during the 1970s and 80s, HF was a mainstay for the Army.
