Some dates coincide with quarterly Department of Defense Communications Exercises (COMEX). All exercises will begin on channel 1 as the initial calling channel and move to other 60-meter working channels as may be appropriate. "In addition to voice calls, I want to introduce passing ICS 213 messages in both voice and digital modes to enhance the overall interop experience," said US Army MARS Chief Paul English, WD8DBY. English continues, "Our exercises will yield the frequencies to other scheduled exercises or mission activations, which may be called by other agencies for interop support (e.g., hurricane, wildfire, etc). We regularly instruct MARS members to work cooperatively with the amateur radio community during the use of the 60-meter interop channels. We will continue to track our 60-meter usage and activities." English said he plans to provide a quarterly usage report of 60-meter interoperability activities. The interoperability schedule is as follows: February 23 - 27 Exercise: DOD COMEX 21-1 Location: CONUS March 1 - 7 Exercise: Interop Outreach Location CONUS April 3 - 10 Exercise: Interop Outreach Location CONUS April 30 - May 6 Exercise: DOD COMEX 21-2 May 7 - 8 Exercise: Armed Forces Day Cross-Band Test Location: CONUS June 1 - 6 Exercise: Interop Outreach Location CONUS July 5 - 10 Exercise: Interop Outreach Location CONUS July 20 - 22 Exercise: DOD COMEX 21-3 Location: CONUS August 2 - 8 Exercise: Interop Outreach Location CONUS September 1 - 6 Exercise: Interop Outreach Location CONUS October 1 - 31 Exercise: DOD COMEX 21-4 Location: CONUS NNNN /EX Source: W1AW Bulletin via the ARRL.
