CAP Comm Exercise Postponed Until Fall

This post comes from Tom, DL8AAM, via the UDXF list:

Larry,

FYI, just got an email from Michael regarding the planned CAP ALE-exer mentioned on your blog on http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com

> > Actually, because of another major CAP Communications activity,
> > I have deferred that exercise to the fall. (...)

73, Tom

Meanwhile, here's what I have on CAP so far this month:

ALE address has two formats:
NNNN+SS+CAP
NNN+RRR+CAP
Where
N = figure 0-9
S = letter in US postal code for state
R = letter in abbreviation of CAP region
CAP = US Civil Air Patrol

Stations copied:

0004AZCAP
0004NVCAP
0008WICAP
0011ARCAP
0011CACAP
0011NVCAP
0100NDCAP
0112GACAP
0135ORCAP
0140NVCAP

0323AZCAP
0327COCAP
043MERCAP
060PCRCAP
0708NVCAP
100SWRCAP
9101ORCAP

MER = Middle Eastern Region
PCR = Pacific Coast Region
SWR = Southwest Region

Frequencies heard (kHz; USB ALE):

4477, 5006, 6806, 7602, 8012, 9047, 10162, 11402, 12081, 13415, 14357, 15602, 17412, 19814, 29894

All transmissions were soundings.

US Civil Air Patrol Frequencies

Here's what I have for the CAP on ALE. A star (*) designates ones that I have heard as active in the past couple of months.

3204.0
4477.0 *
5711.0
6806.0 *
7602.0 *
8012.0 *
8294.0
9047.0 *
10162.0 *
11402.0 *
12081.0 *
13442.0
20107.0
25571.0

Most CAP ALE addresses are 4 figures + 2-letter state postal abbreviation + CAP. If the transmitter is a region station, the 3-letter abbreviation for the region is used instead of the state postal code. Ones copied here include MER (Middle Eastern Retion), PCR (Pacific Coast Region), and SWR (Southwest Region).

Civil Air Patrol Exercise Soon

The CAP is apparently going to have a radio communication exercise at a time to be announced immediately before it commences, sometime between now and July 4th.

See Larry Van Horn's excellent MT Milcom blog for the full story.
