Annual Armed Forces Day Cross-Band Test Set for May 7 - 8

The US Department of Defense will host this year's Armed Forces Day 
(AFD) Cross-Band Test, Friday and Saturday, May 7 - 8, in recognition of 
Armed Forces Day on May 15. The event is open to all radio amateurs.

For more than 50 years, military and amateur stations have taken part in 
this exercise, designed to include amateur radio and government radio 
operators alike. The AFD Cross-Band Test is a unique opportunity to test 
two-way communications between military and amateur radio stations, as 
authorized under FCC Part 97 rules. These tests provide opportunities 
and challenges for radio operators to demonstrate individual technical 
skills in a tightly controlled exercise in which military stations will 
transmit on selected military frequencies and will announce the specific 
amateur radio frequencies being monitored.







The schedule <http://www.dodmars.org/home/armed-forces-day-2021> of 
military/government stations taking part in the Armed Forces Day 
Cross-Band Test and information on the AFD message is available on the 
MARS website. Complete <http://www.usarmymars.org/events> the request 
form to obtain a QSL card./--Thanks to MARS/
