The US Department of Defense (DOD) is hosting this year's Armed Forces Day
(AFD) Crossband Test on Saturday, May 11. 

For more than 50 years, military and amateur stations have taken part in this
event, which is an interoperability exercise between amateur and government
radio stations. The event is open to all licensed amateur radio operators and
will not impact any public or private communications. 

The AFD Crossband Test is a unique opportunity to test two-way communications
between military communicators and radio stations in the Amateur Radio Service
