Weekly Net Weds 9PM EasternÂ
Now live streamed on YouTube!
Join KE9DQS for our weekly Wednesday night net starting at 9PM Eastern. KC1MUR monitors the YouTube stream for virtual check-ins, roundtable comments, and questions starting 15 minutes prior to net kickoff. We are a no-pressure, newbie-friendly, and supportive group. Don’t worry about “getting it right” as long as you get on the air!
Huge thanks to Pride Radio Network for the use of their system!
We are currently considering a Sunday net early evening Eastern for all our members, particularly our non-North American operators.
Unlicensed\curious individuals have the opportunity to “peek behind the curtain” of radio and get a feel for how things flow. New and not ready to key up? Our nets are laid back, newbie friendly, and inclusive. Listen along on YT and see if we are a group that fits for you. If you don’t use Allstar, Echolink, YSF, or DMR, the livestream is for you as well. We monitor the stream chat and relay online check ins to the net. Subscribe so you can be notified of upcoming streams. Click the image below to subscribe to our channel.
Alliance Amateur Radio Network is a registered Radio Club with the FCC – KE9EZI – and legally incorporated as an organization. We promise full fiscal and organizational transparency to all our members.
Are you an activist or looking to attend a protest\grassroots event? We have a guide created from “boots on the ground” experience. This is from our personal experience and should not be considered professional advice, only suggestions based off personal involvement. Any preparation and attendance should be well-researched, including official guidance from recognized organizations and proper entities.

Who are we for?
If you’ve ever felt shunned, shamed, excluded, belittled, or bullied and have an interest in radio communication, we are here for you.
We are a safe space.We strive to change the world in which we live in, breaking down barriers that have existed for far too long. In the face of fascism marching towards us around the globe, we stand for freedom, compassion, and inclusion. These are our unwavering beliefs.
The primary function of the club is to bring people together through curiosity, service, and communication. We are committed to fostering a welcoming, respectful, and supportive environment for all operators and guests.
Are you a current radio operator or are interested in becoming one? Do believe everyone – regardless of race, culture, gender identification, sexuality, citizenship, financial status, neurodivergence, or disability status – has the basic human rights of living their best life with decency, kindness, food, shelter, water, healthcare, workplace equality, domestic equality, the right to assemble, and the right to protest? Do you believe that no one should be able to negate the will of the people with money and favors? If so, we may be for you.
