ALE IN USA ANNUAL ARMED FORCES DAY CROSS-BAND COMMUNICATIONS

TEST (09-10 MAY 2015)



= Armed Forces Day ALE Direct Interoperability =

This is the first year that ALE will be in use for this event.

Ham operators may use ALE "Individual Call" selective calling

to connect with a military station, for voice communications.

Amateur Stations with Automatic Link Establishment (ALE)

capability can contact a military station directly on specific

half duplex “cross band” channels established for this purpose.



Military stations will scan and receive certain Amateur

HFLINK ALE frequencies, and transmit on the corresponding

military ALE frequency. Military stations will also

transmit ALE station identification (soundings) on each

military frequency at 30 to 90 minute intervals. Amateur

stations which are capable may scan the military frequencies

and monitor the soundings to build the LQA database or

select the channel manually. HF Radios with an embedded

ALE feature, or ham radios with computer-based PC-ALE,

are compatible for use with the military 2G-ALE used in

this event.
