About
Crest REACT
Crest Communications, one of the largest REACT teams in the country,
has provided communications in southern California since 1978.
While many members also have their amateur radio licenses, the team
uses GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) as their primary
communications tool. Members purchase and maintain their own
equipment, and volunteer their time to promote public safety,
maintain their radio operator skills, and provide communications
services during an emergency.
Also known as
Crest REACT Team #4252, the all-volunteer group is affiliated with
REACT International, Suitland, MD. Since 1962, REACT (or Radio
Emergency
Associated
Communications
Teams)
has been "on scene" at various locations throughout the
world. It is an international organization of radio operators,
who join local teams because they "love radios" and
are "dedicated to public service using two-way radio
communications."
The
team has also established a repeater network for their communication's
activities. Using licenses issued by the Federal
Communications Commission, this resource is shared with other REACT
teams and to REACT members visiting southern California.
Contact Crest via the team's web site: http://www.crestcom.org.
Crest
REACT meets the first Thursday of each month at the Senior Center in
Corona with meetings starting promptly at 7:00 p.m. Visitors
are always welcome.
