Department of Defense Communications Exercise
Posted on Apr 28, 2022- Steve Schroder
Army MARS will be running their quarterly Department of Defense Communications Exercise 22-2 (DOD COMEX 22-2) starting 29 April and running through 7 May. This is a good chance to interface with military operators on 60 meters and provide amateur radio support that simulates a national communication emergency.
On Tuesday, May 5, at 1900 MDT there will be a high power broadcast on 60 Meters Channel One.
In numerical order by region number, two MARS stations will identify specific information needed from that particular region. The two MARS stations in Region Eight will follow the stations in Region Seven. Amateur stations monitor the broadcast and region MARS stations to determine if they can provide the requested information. On subsequent days the broadcasts will request additional information.
Then at noon our time, on 60 Meters Channel One, amateur stations with the information respond to calls for information from two Region Eight MARS stations using a "HOTEL xxx" call sign.
For amateur operators in Grand Junction, there may be a request for weather information broadcast by GJT AWOS KTGJ at 118.550 AM.
MARS members, using their FCC Amateur Radio Call Sign may join ARS nets and request information.
This process repeats daily until Saturday, May 7. |

There were 12 in attendance at Saturday’s club breakfast.
We brought in one of the new laptops to share. Thanks Stan W0LQ for loading all the software for the various events!
I will start using it for club activities and install Zoom Google etc. on it in case anyone takes over as president in the future.
Reminder to send in your dues or drop them off at the club meetings. John says we are at about 50% for renewals.
Have a great week.

Thanks Ken for taking the net.
Saturday was the club breakfast we had 12 in attendance. Immediately afterwards we had Auxcom training and had 11 participants.
Busy kitchen in Olathe is not serving breakfast for the time being. I will look into an alternative for next month. If you have any suggestions let me know.
For those that were on the net we tried an exercise of transmitting and receiving reports. We hope to do that occasionally on Sunday night nets to give everyone practice.

Thank you Stan for the new website! Hopefully it won’t be hacked like the last one. As you can see not all pages are up yet, but we are building them, and hope to have all pertinent info back up soon.
Thanks to Dave for manning the site for the past many years! Wishing you well in the new endeavors of writing for QST and your YouTube channel!
President’s report
Monday will be the board meeting (same link and time) and Friday will be the club meeting (we will have a zoom option). If you haven’t heard from Chris Colin or Joel, please reach out to let them know how you can help the club going forward.
We will need all hands on deck to grow and maintain the club!
