[Wma-ares] October SET

[Tom Kinahan]

Chuck, All,

To the extent that there is information sharing with Army MARS, I can 
offer my support.

I've got zero information on anything that is planned for this timeframe 
from Army MARS HQ so far, but I'll share what I can to include it in the 
scenario.

There IS going to be a celebration of the 100th anniversary of MARS in 
the October time frame. It will involve a series of military stations 
transmitting a coded message by CW on a few (non-amateur) frequencies 
over 4-5 days. There will be a "one time pad"  in the form of a single 
page used to decode the message, available to everyone in advance so 
that the random CW characters can be translated into a meaningful 
message. Send in your copy and get a card.

I have been promised that the message will not be "Drink more Ovaltine".
