Navy Weeks 2007 - Calendar Across America



Don't look now, but the Navy may be coming to your town real soon. I have posted below the 2007 schedule for the Navy Calendar Across America.

During a typical Navy Week, the Navy establishes a concentrated presence in a U.S. city, leveraging a major community event such as an air show, state fair, or large-scale festival. On average, a Navy Week garners more than a quarter million live impressions and more than 4.4 million impressions via regional media outlets.

Multiple Navy outreach assets are scheduled for the Navy Week, to include the Blue Angels, Leap Frogs, ship visits where possible, Navy Bands, namesake ship crews, flag officer speakers, SEAL (Sea, Air and Land) and EOD Explosive Ordnance Disposal) displays, DoD’s America Supports You grassroots organizations and premiere recruiting assets such as the F/A-18 flight simulator, Navy NASCAR show car, and new Accelerate Your Life Experience.

These events could offer the radio hobbyist an interesting radio monitoring event. And be sure to let us know what you monitored if you attend any of the events below.
