ANNUAL ARMED FORCES DAY CROSSBAND MILITARY/AMATEUR RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS TEST (08 MAY 2010)
The Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard are co-sponsoring the annual
military/amateur radio communications tests in celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Armed
Forces Day (AFD). Although the actual Armed Forces Day is celebrated on Saturday, May 15,
2010, the AFD Military/Amateur Crossband Communications Test will be conducted 08 May 2010
to prevent conflict with the Dayton Hamvention (14-16 May 2010), which is the same weekend as
the actual Armed Forces Day.
The annual celebration features traditional military to amateur cross band communications SSB
voice tests and copying the Secretary of Defense message via digital modes. 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 Secretary of Defense and/or the
appropriate military radio station for their proven expertise. QSL cards will be provided to those
stations 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.
