ANNUAL ARMED FORCES DAY CROSSBAND TEST (11 May 2024)
The Department of Defense will host this year’s Armed Forces Day
(AFD) Crossband Test, scheduled for May 11, 2024. This annual event
is open to all licensed amateur radio operators and will not impact any
public or private communications. For more than 50 years, military and
amateur stations have taken part in this event, which is an interoperability
exercise between hobbyist and government radio stations.
The AFD Crossband Test is a unique opportunity to test two-way communications
between military communicators and radio stations in the Amateur Radio Service
(ARS), as authorized in 47 CFR 97.111. These tests provide opportunities and
challenges for radio operators to demonstrate individual technical skills in a tightly
controlled exercise scenario that does not impact any public or
private communications.
Military stations will transmit on selected military frequencies and will announce
the specific ARS frequencies monitored. All times are ZULU (Z), and all frequencies
are Upper Side Band (USB) unless otherwise noted. The frequencies used for the
test will not impact any public or private communications and will not stray outside the
confines of the exercise.
The following stations will be making two-way radiotelephone contacts with
stations in the ARS between the time periods listed on the frequencies listed
in Kilohertz below.
