Annual Armed Forces Day Crossband Test Set for May 11

29 April 2019

The Army Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) will host the
traditional military/Amateur Radio communication tests to mark
the 68th annual Armed Forces Day (AFD) on Saturday, May 11. The
event is open to all radio amateurs. Armed Forces Day is May 18,
but the AFD Crossband Military-Amateur Radio event traditionally
takes place 1 week earlier in order to avoid conflicting with
Hamvention®. Complete information, including military stations,
modes, and frequencies, is available on the US Army MARS website
(1).

Military stations expected to be on the air for the event include
those in Arizona, Japan, Hawaii, Okinawa, Washington, DC (and
elsewhere in the contiguous states), the USS Midway, the USS
Yorktown, the USS Iowa, LST-325, the US Naval Academy in
Annapolis, and the Newport Naval Radio Station Museum in Rhode
Island. The MARSCOMM and MARSRADIO nationwide networks will have
multiple stations on the air across the continental US.

An AFD message will be transmitted utilizing the Military
Standard (MIL-STD) serial PSK waveform (M110) followed by MIL-STD
Wide Shift FSK (850 Hz RTTY), as described in MIL-STD 188-110A/B.
Technical information is available (2). The AFD message will also
be sent in CW and RTTY, as indicated on the full schedule (1).
