[GreenKeys] Annual Armed Forces Day Cross-Band Exercise - Message sent in RTTY...

[Russ Miller]

The US Department of Defense will host this year's Armed Forces Day (AFD)
Cross-Band Test on Saturday, May 14. While Armed Forces Day is May 21, the
AFD cross-band military-amateur radio event traditionally takes place 1
week earlier to avoid any conflict with the Dayton Hamvention®.

In addition to the two way communications exercise, an AFD Secretary of
Defense message will also be sent in RTTY, and an AFD message will also be
transmitted utilizing the Military Standard (MIL-STD) serial PSK waveform
(M110), followed by MIL-STD Wide Shift FSK (850 Hz RTTY), as described in
MIL-STD 188-110A/B.

A detailed list of modes and frequencies for military/government stations
taking part in the Armed Forces Day Cross-Band Test and information on the
AFD message is available at www.dodmars.org
<https://www.dodmars.org/mars-comex-information-website/armed-forces-day>.
In the upper right corner is a dropdown with all the information.
