Purpose: A specific day and time frame for all amateurs and specifically emergency communications
team members to get on the air and experiment with NVIS (Near Vertical Incidence Skywave)
antenna configurations. With a focus on local and regional contacts as would be expected in an
emergency.

The goal is to provide operators around the state of WY and surrounding areas with a large
