or the appropriate military radio station for their proven expertise.
a. The proceeding will include operations in continuous wave (CW),
single sideband voice (SSB) and radioteletype (RTTY).
b. Participating military radio stations will award commemorative
acknowledgement (QSL) cards to amateur radio operators achieving a
verified two-way radio contact. Special commemorative certificates will
be awarded to anyone who receives and accurately copies the Armed Forces
Day CW and/or RTTY message from the Secretary of Defense. All contacts
must be acknowledged by QSL card or certificate to validate military
interest in these operators.
3. Military-to-Amateur Cross Band Test. Military-to-amateur cross band
operations will take place from 15/1300Z (UTC Universal Time) to 16/0200Z
(UTC) May 1993. Military stations will transmit on selected military
frequencies and listen for amateur radio stations in the amateur bands
