[R-390] FW: USCG CAMSLANT Armed Forces Day 2013

[chuck.rippel at cox.net]

Hi List !

A heads up for those of you who are hams; this has not even hit QST yet. 
For those of you who may be interested in operating during Armed Forces 
Day, CO has given his concurrance for us to work the Amateur Community 
Crossband.  Below are the frequencies we'll be operating.

Am running this as a training exercise for our junior Petty Officers and 
new aboards.  So, it'll be their voices you hear.  The big difference 
between our effort and the others services which will be operating, NMN 
will be using our USCG infrastructure.  That means 4KW transmitters, 
4-30 Mhz rotary beams on 80' booms and where possible, fixed azimuth log 
periodic antennas which has very impressive gain located inour Pungo, VA 
transmitter site.

You will hear us.

Tentative plans are to begin operations at 0900 on 40M.  We will be 
transmitting on 7528.6 USB and listening on announced frequency in the 
general portion of the amateur 40M band.  Band changes will be announced 
VIA the DX Packet Cluster.
