Armed Forces Cross Band Test

[N1ZN]

The Armed Forces Cross Band Test begins on Saturday at 1200UTC. The object is to work MARS stations at various military bases. They will be transmitting on their military frequencies and listening on ham frequencies. So hams will be listing on the military frequencies and transmitting on ham frequencies. In ham lingo we would be working splits.

This is a fun event and you will receive a QSL card and letter from the stations you work.

Give it a try. The link below lists the stations that will be on the air. Not all stations will be on through out the entire event so you will have to hunt around. I try to participate every year. Last year not many contacts but in previous years I did pretty good. Good luck.
