Description

Since 2013, the Canadian Communications and Electronics branch has brought hundreds of teams from dozens of Nations together to test, strengthen expertise and compete in a friendly atmosphere to what is now known as the most Prestigious military led HF competition in the world: Noble Skywave. Noble Skywave acquired its “letters of nobility” through highly skilled and proud participating teams which are either HAM/CFARS/MARS or Military Radio Operators around the globe. As the Leading Nation for this event, the Canadian Armed Forces are committed to provide the best possible training experience to all participants and is looking forward again this year to crown the best HF Radio Operators in the world.

1. Canadian Forces Joint Signal Regiment (CFJSR), on behalf of the C&E Branch, will use the C&E Week to conduct Ex NOBLE SKYWAVE 2022 (Ex NS 22). The exercise will establish voice and data links between domestic and international teams via High Frequency (HF) Skywave propagation.

2. This exercise will again take the form of a competition with participating teams earning points for successful contact with other participants. The scoring system will resemble previous years, with teams scoring points based on the number and distance of successful connections.  During the competition, teams shall be responsible for their respective broadcast detachments, stations, sites, and personnel.  Prospective teams must register using the registration portal at https://nobleskywave.ca/ before the deadline of 18 October 2022, 2359Z.

All Regular, Reserve, or Auxiliary Force units are invited to participate with HF radio communications from Canada, Peru, FVEY and NATO partners, and other friendly nations.  Members of the Canadian Forces Affiliate Radio System (CFARS) and the US Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) are also invited to participate.
