ARLX007 Annual Armed Forces Day Crossband Test Postponed

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 response and mitigation actions, the 2020 
Armed Forces Day (AFD) Crossband Test scheduled for Saturday, May 9, has 
been postponed.

Because it's uncertain just when stay-at-home orders will be lifted 
across the US, AFD planners chose to postpone this year's event, because 
the government stations that typically support this event may not be 
available.

Armed Forces Day Crossband Test planners are considering scheduling a 
November event in honor of Veteran's Day, depending on COVID-19 
mitigation actions.

During the AFD Crossband Test, military stations in various locations 
transmit on selected military frequencies and announce the specific ham 
frequencies they are monitoring to work radio amateurs.
