Field Activities

FSD Forms · Logos and Photos

Real ham radio happens "in the field," where amateurs practice their avocation. Organized field activities redouble the efforts of individual amateurs -- there's strength in numbers. ARRL directly supports the activities of its members in the field via:

The ARRL Field Organization -- Led by 71 Section Managers elected by ARRL members, the Field Organization consists of volunteers doing a variety of jobs to advance Amateur Radio.
ARRL Affiliated Clubs -- Clubs are where the bulk of the work -- in public service, promoting Amateur Radio, peer support and just good fellowship -- occurs.
Public Service programs -- Public service communication has been a traditional responsibility of the Amateur Radio Service.
ARRL Sanctioned Hamfests and Conventions -- Sanctioning brings added benefits to a hamfest or convention -- and to the affiliated club that sponsors the event.
