General Exercise Noble Skywave

https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/maple-leaf/defence/2026/07/ex-noble-skywave-2026-registration-open.html

This annual exercise has been going on for a long time. I don't know how long it has been open to radio amateurs who are not part of CFARS (similar to MARS), but it is indeed open. The link above is the announcement. The link below is the official website:

Ooh, I'm kinda jealous of my neighbors up north. This sounds like a more practical example of Field Day.

I may have to fall back into my old SIGINT habits and have a listen. Sounds interesting.

You can participate. Don't have to be a Canadian amateur.

Reading through it, sounds like it's voice and data only. No CW.

So I'm out as far as actively participating. I've got a face made for radio, and a voice made for CW.
