ANNUAL
ARMED FORCES DAY
CROSSBAND MILITARY/AMATEUR RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS TEST
(11 MAY 2013)
The Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard are
co-sponsoring the annual military/amateur radio communications tests in
celebration of the 63rd Anniversary of Armed Forces Day (AFD). Although
the actual Armed Forces Day is celebrated on Saturday, May 18, 2013, the
AFD Military/Amateur Crossband Communications Test will be conducted 11
May 2013 to prevent conflict with the Dayton Hamvention (17-19 May
2013), which is the same weekend as the actual Armed Forces Day.
The annual celebration features traditional military to amateur cross
band communications SSB voice and Morse Code tests. These tests give
Amateur Radio operators and Short Wave Listeners (SWL) an opportunity to
demonstrate their individual technical skills, and to receive
recognition from the appropriate military radio station for their proven
expertise. QSL cards will be provided to those stations making contact
with the military stations.
PART I. MILITARY-TO-AMATEUR CROSS BAND SSB & CW TEST CONTACTS.
Military-to-Amateur cross band operations will take place on the
dates/times in ZULU (UTC), and frequencies listed below for each
station. Voice contacts will include operations in single sideband voice
(SSB). Some stations may not operate the entire period, depending on
propagation and manning. Participating military stations will transmit
on selected Military MARS frequencies and listen for amateur radio
stations in the Amateur bands indicated below. The military station
operator will announce the specific amateur band frequency being
monitored. Duration of each voice contact should be limited to 1-2
minutes. The following stations will be transmitting on MARS frequencies
listed below which are provided as "Window/Dial Frequency" in kHz. Some
stations will use CW to provide the opportunity to check in by Morse Code.

Transcripts of the RTTY, PACTOR, AMTOR, PSK-31, MFSK and MT63 receiving

correct possible transmission errors. Provide time, frequency and call
sign of the military station copied, including name, call sign, and
address (including zip code) of individual submitting the entry. Ensure
this information is placed on the paper containing the test message.
Each year a large number of acceptable entries are received with
insufficient information, or necessary information was not attached to
the transcriptions and was separated, thereby precluding issuance of a
certificate. Entries must be sent to the appropriate military address
