Submit Your Photos, Videos, and Articles

Do you have pictures of videos of ham radio in action you want to share? The ARRL would love to see pictures and/or short videos of your station, portable operations, contesting, or other aspects of amateur radio! You may even see your submission shared in ARRL programs and media outlets!

Guidelines for Photos & Videos:

  • We can accept digital images if the resolution is sufficient. Generally speaking, this means using at least a 4-megapixel (or greater) camera with the image resolution (sometimes referred to as “image quality”) set at maximum. This is usually the setting that allows your camera to store the LEAST number of pictures. 
  • Video submissions should be limited to thirty seconds or less. Resolution for video submissions should be a minimum of 720p. Video file formats should be .mov or .mp4.
  • All photos, digital or otherwise, must include captions. Tell us what is going on in the photo, where it was taken and so on. If people are shown prominently in the photographs, you must supply their names and/or call signs. If any minors are shown in photos, we require written permission from the minor’s parent or legal guardian before the minor can be depicted in QST. The permission release form for minors is available at  http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Model%20Release%20/ModelReleaseForm.pdf 
  • DO NOT send images captured from websites, or scanned from magazines, newspapers, catalogs, or other media without obtaining the written permission of the author, webmaster, company, etc.
  • If your camera has a date stamping function that adds the date to every photograph, please TURN IT OFF when shooting photos for possible publication.

Disclaimer: 

  • I, the undersigned, freely give to the ARRL, the American Radio Relay League, and their legal representatives, successors, and all persons, organizations, or corporations acting with their permission unrestricted permission to copyright and/or use, and/or publish photographic portraits or pictures, and the negatives, transparencies, prints, videotapes, or digital information pertaining to them, in still, single, multiple, moving or video format, sounds, audio.
  • I hereby waive any right that I may have to inspect and approve the finished product or copy that may be used in connection with an image, or the use to which it may be applied. I further release the Photographer, the ARRL or others for whom he/she is acting, from any claims for remuneration associated with any form of damage, foreseen or unforeseen, associated with the proper commercial or artistic use of these images.
