AFMARS 75th Anniversary Special Event

In recognition of the 75th anniversary of Air Force MARS, a special
event will be held the first full week of November. This event will take
place on all HF bands using common modes, including SSB, CW, and
digital.

Representative stations located in each of the ten geographical AFMARS
Communications Wings will be on-the-air calling CQ and identifying
themselves as special event stations with the following 1×1 callsigns:

In addition, we are excited to announce that K4AF, the MARS station
located at the Pentagon, will be on  the air as a part of this event!

How It Works
The event will kick-off on November 5 and end on November 11, 2023.
Participants should monitor  frequencies for the above-listed stations
and respond to the QSO calls. Stations that receive an acknowledgment
and authentication code will be registered in the official log. Upon
completion of the event, those stations that have been officially logged
in all ten Communication Wings will receive a QSL document. Stations
that, in addition to the ten Communication Wings, make contact with the
Pentagon MARS station, will receive a second QSL document attesting to
that feat.

Additional Information
Check the official AFMARS website for updated information. Additional
details, including schedules,  bands, and modes will be posted as they
are finalized.
