EXERCISE BLUE HAM
Exercise Blue Ham was conceived to develop Cadet radio operators High Frequency (HF) radio communications abilities and to incorporate a spirit of competition.
By competing, the Cadets are using equipment in a real-world scenario.
The exercise will see the establishment of voice and data links between Cadet and Amateur Radio stations in the UK and Europe via HF NVIS propagation.
Operators will gain experience of different styles of radio operation whilst instilling good-will and confidence among users of the 5 MHz (Shared) Band.
UPDATE 29 Sept 2020
Our next Exercise Blue Ham 20-3 was to take take place on 17th & 18th October 2020 but unfortunately due COVID-19 Rules we have not been able to put the exercise on this time around.
Details of Exercise Blue Ham 20-2 can be found by following the links below.
The RAFAC/ACF/SCC and CCF (RAF Section) Callsigns look forward to operating as many of you as we can during the next period of the Exercise as it does give our operators an ideal opportunity for them to utilise their radio training on HF equipment to a different audience.
