Field Signals Alliance
Ready When Signals Matter

The Field Signals Alliance exists to promote and advance the practice of amateur radio through deliberate challenging outdoor field exercises.

We encourage licensed operators to test their equipment, communication skills, and operational tactics under challenging real-world conditions so that reliable communication skills can be learned and operator collaboration can be established and maintained when it matters most.

The Alliance supports operation on all amateur bands and modes, in all environments and conditions, with an emphasis on practical readiness, self-reliance, collaboration, and successful end-to-end communication.

Field Signals Alliance connects licensed amateur radio operators prepared to deliver dependable field and emergency communications support when infrastructure fails or conventional networks are unavailable.

Operational Focus

The Field Signals Alliance promotes and encourages all radio operators to be discoverable and ready for rapid tasking. When cellular systems and internet links go dark, trained operators with portable and fixed stations can still move critical traffic.
