K9 Veterans Day Activation Honors Military Dogs

The Dog Day Radio Amateur Radio Club, K0DOG, best known for participation in International Dog Day each August, will be calling CQ in tribute to dogs who have supported members of the military over the years.

Starting at 0000 UTC 12th March 2026 through to 2359 UTC 13th March 2026, hams will be active on the HF bands using CW and SSB, commemorating K9 Veterans Day.

The late Joe White, a Vietnam veteran and K9 handler, popularized 13th March 2026 as K9 Veterans Day because the date marks the start of dogs’ formal military training in the US in 1942 through the formation of the K9 Corps, or the War Dogs Program of the US Army.

This amateur radio activation is a tribute to all dogs throughout history who have served – wherever they have served.
