SUBMISSION OF SECRETARY OF DEFENSE TEST MESSAGE ENTRIES:
Transcripts of the RTTY, PACTOR, AMTOR, CLOVER and MT63 receiving test should be submitted "as received." No attempt should be made to correct possible transmission errors. Provide time, frequency and call sign of the military station copied, including name, call sign, and address (including ZIP code) of individual submitting the entry. Ensure this information is placed on the paper containing the test message. Each year a large number of acceptable entries are received with insufficient information, or necessary information was not attached to the transcriptions and was separated, thereby precluding issuance of a certificate. Entries must be sent to the appropriate military address as follows:
a. Stations copying Secretary of Defense message transmitted from AAZ or WAR send entries to:
Armed Forces Day Celebration
CDR. NETCOM/9th ASC
Armed Forces Day Celebration
ATTN: AFSC-OPE-MA (MARS) (31)
