Subject: [PVRC] Annual Armed Forces Day Crossband Test Official Announcement Official Announcement
The Army Military Auxiliary Radio System will host this year’s Armed
Forces Day Crossband Test, scheduled for May 12, 2018. This annual
event is open to all radio operators, and will not impact any public or
private communications. For more than 50 years, military and amateur
stations have taken part in this event, which is only an exercise scenario,
designed to include hobbyist and government radio operators alike.
The AFD Crossband Test is a unique opportunity to test two-way
communications between military communicators and radio stations in the
Amateur Radio Service (ARS), as authorized in 47 CFR 97.111. These
tests provide opportunities and challenges for radio operators to demonstrate
individual technical skills in a tightly-controlled exercise scenario that does
not impact any public or private communications.
Military stations will transmit on selected military frequencies and will announce
the specific ARS frequencies monitored. All times are ZULU (Z), and all
frequencies are Upper Side Band (USB) unless otherwise noted. The
frequencies used for the test will not impact any public or private
communications, and will not stray outside the confines of the exercise.
The following stations will be making two way radiotelephone contacts with
stations in the ARS between the time periods listed on the frequencies listed
in kilohertz below. WAR, WUG-2 and NSS will also make CW contacts.
