The Air Force Military Auxiliary Radio System (AFMARS) celebrates our service again to United States Military and Civilian government organizations during November 2024.
This will be “Air Force MARS 76 Years” Special Event and will include communications on Amateur HF bands (80-6) in the General License portion of the band and in the Technician License portion of 10 meters using SSB, CW and digital modes.
Those wishing to participate should listen for the above-listed stations (frequencies will vary by geographic region) and respond to the “Air Force MARS Special Event CQ” calls. Stations which have made a confirmed contact with one or more Communication Wings will be eligible to receive an electronic certificate. Stations contacting 5 wings will be awarded a “Bronze” endorsement. Contact with 10 wings will be denoted “Silver”. Stations contacting all 10 Wings and the Pentagon, Schriever SFB, Hancock Airfield and Travis AFB stations will receive “Gold” endorsements on their QSL Certificates.
