[GreenKeys] Armed Forces RTTY Test reminder & schedule

[Andy Williams]

Did anyone copy the Secretary of Defense message? I never heard the broadcast message at any of the scheduled times/frequencies/digital modes here in North Texas. I briefly heard WUG-2 on USB during the day. NIIW, USS Midway, was 59 on 14,441.5 kHz USB at 0300Z.
