Armed Forces Day On-Air Event Set for May 14-15:
The 2005 Armed Forces Day military/amateur crossband communications test
will take place May 14-15. The US Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard are co-sponsoring the annual event in celebration of the 55th
anniversary of Armed Forces Day, which is Saturday, May 21. The Armed Forces
Day radio event is scheduled a week earlier to avoid conflicts with Dayton
Hamvention, May 20-22.
The annual Armed Forces Day on-the-air celebration features the traditional
military-to-amateur crossband communications SSB voice test and the
Secretary of Defense message-receiving test. QSL cards will be provided to
those making contact with the military stations.
Special commemorative certificates will be awarded to anyone who receives
and copies the digital Armed Forces Day message from the Secretary of
Defense.
Full details, including stations and frequencies, are on the ARRL Web site
