[SMCARA] Upcoming Contests...

[Tom Shelton]

Some operating opportunities for y’all...

If you've not participated in the annual Armed Forces Cross-band Communications Test, give it a try! Military stations like AIR and NAV transmit on frequencies near the HF ham bands and listen for stations calling on ham frequencies. Work as many as you can, including a station on the USS Yorktown - most send QSLs, too!
