EXERCISE NOBLE SKYWAVE.

This is an international radio competition whereby teams will endeavour to, via the High Frequency (HF) band of the electro-magnetic spectrum, establish communications and pass a variety of data through their respective nets. After the success of last year’s competition with the support of our Allied partners, the Canadian Armed Forces is using the momentum to conduct Exercise NOBLE SKYWAVE (Ex NS 2018). This HF radio exercise is being planned for 30-31 October 2018. What originally started several years ago as a small initiative to rejuvenate the use of this medium, has since grown into a highly regarded competition. More information regarding this can be found here.
