ARLX005 Annual Armed Forces Day Crossband Test scheduled for
Saturday, May 10, 2025
 
The Annual Armed Forces Day (AFD) Crossband Test, hosted by the
Department of Defense, is scheduled for Saturday, May 10, 2025.
 
The event will test two-way communications between military stations and
amateur radio operators as authorized by the Federal Communications
Commission in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations 47 CFR 97.111.
The test provides opportunities, and challenges, for operators to test
their individual technical skills in a controlled scenario that will not
impact public or private communications.
 
The annual DOD message will be transmitted via RTTY on 14667.0 kHz at
1400 and 2000 UTC. Military stations will transmit on selected military
frequencies and announce the specific amateur radio service frequencies
that will be monitored.
 
All scheduled times will be in UTC, and all scheduled transmissions will
be upper sideband (USB), unless otherwise noted. Frequencies, times, and
other technical information can be found at the DoD MARS - Armed Forces
Day site at:
www.dodmars.org/mars-comex-information-website/armed-forces-day [
