>From the Contest Update:
NEW HF OPERATORS - THINGS TO DODo you ever wonder what happens just outside our ham bands? The annual Armed Forces Communications Test gives you an opportunity to find out! Listen outside the bands for military stations calling CQ, announcing a listening frequency somewhere in our bands. You'll get a nice QSL in the mail if you make contact! Get your radio set for "split" operation and check that VFO A/B indicator before making a transmission - maybe it's just me but accidentally QRMing a station with the call letters WAR doesn't seem like such a terrific idea...Details here:

Remember, if you do this, you work SPLIT.  You stay in the ham bands but respond to the armed forces stations outside the bands.
