From 22-26 October 2018, MARS members will be supporting the DOD HF communications readiness exercise testing the ability to communicate via voice and military standard communications protocols simulating the loss of traditional forms of communication.

Throughout this exercise, MARS members will interface with the Amateur Radio community to collect information at the county level regarding publicly available information using voice and amateur radio digital protocols.   

Additionally, MARS members will be participating in the HF ALE on the air exercise taking place from 12-22 Oct 2018.   

On 24 Oct 0001 Hrs Zulu (23 Oct 2001 Hrs eastern) amateur radio operators are requested to monitor 60 meter channel 1 (5330.5 KHz, upper sideband) for updated information regarding this exercise and how the amateur radio community can participate. 

During the exercise, MARS members will communicate with amateur radio operators on all five 60 meter channels, as well as the other amateur radio bands. 

If you have questions regarding this exercise, please email:  mars.exercises@gmail.com. 

This exercise is a simulation only and will not affect any public or private communications or infrastructure.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Thanks for your interest in DOD COMEX 18-4 which took place from 22-26 Oct.  I am interested in hearing your feedback on the exercise as well as the high power 60 meter broadcast that took place on 24 Oct at 0001 Hrs Z.

Were you able to participate?

How did it go from your perspective?

Did you submit a broadcast reception report?

What recommendations do you have for how we can do the exercise better in the future?

During this week, did any of you also copy the ARRL bulletin from W1AW?

Thanks for your feedback.

This would be a good place to post links to MARS good stuff.
News and membership, etc.

Many think MARS is dead, so showing some signs of life will encourage support.
