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
