Do you have any clue what REACT is about these days?  Perhaps it's time to educate yourself...

Young Stanley,
Some sort of intelligence rising from the ashes in Future World only happens in the movies.

Your right...to expect intelligence in the future from you could only happen in the movies.

REACT's roots go back to the early days of CB.  The organization was created to monitor the CB channels and provide assistance to motorists on the road.  With the advent of cell phones, that has pretty much gone away.  REACT shrunk in size and, to remain viable, some groups evolved. The particular team I'm with chose to go into event communications.  We provide communications to groups that organize events such as running events, parades, bicycle races and even back country equestrian events. Unfortunately, most of that has come to halt because of COVID-19. 

As part of the evolutionary process, CB became less and less used as teams migrated to other radio services, such as the land mobile service and GMRS.  Many teams settled on amateur radio, but because the organization began with CB, we are still regarded as misfits by that segment of the amateur radio community that wrongly blames former CBers as the source of all the bad operating on the ham bands today.  Hence my somewhat knee-jerk reaction to above individual and his derogatory post.

I don't know. I never participated in REACT, nor did I have any interest in learning what its about.

All I remember was the late 70's when it seemed to be a group of self proclaimed emergency responders that often got in the way of real first responders. As a firefighter, they seemed to pretty much disappear around here after a couple years, so I paid no interest.

I wasn't even that interested in Emcomm until the NWS moved their doppler radar to the county I live in. Our local repeater became one of the communication links in this part of the state.

I am collecting after-action reports from real-life amateur radio activations to gather lessons learned. Not all events are communications emergencies that require amateur radio support, but volunteer groups might be utilized in many ways other than with radios. Please message me if you have anything to share.

Maybe the activity and utilization varies by regions. Here in the SE NY, there is ARES/RACES and Skywarn.
Occasionally, the ARES/RACES group is called upon to help with local events like motor cross, etc. I don't think they even do that anymore, because the promoters told them they participate at their own risk.

Even though the ARES/RACES hams are obligated to attend HSA training, they are NEVER included in real local emergency events, so there would be no "after action" reports if there was no action.
For that reason I am not a member. It's  a whole lot of effort for nothing, IMO.

However those same individuals do provide their own information during emergencies about downed power lines, blocked roads and the like, which I find very useful. You don't need a HSA coarse to do that!

Maybe it's different on the left coast, but on this side it is indeed "crickets".

Young intelligent Stanley,
YOU keep making the same spelling mistake over and over and over.

It is "you're", not "your".

Please post the callsigns that REACT REACT REACT has been issued for those radio services.

I want do a little research and try to figure out what kind misrepresentations REACT REACT REACT used to obtain licensing in those services.

Yes. And that is what "my example" was about.
It showed, by example, what type of radio traffic is typical at those events.

What else would anyone try to claim is typical traffic at such events? ? ?
It is what it is.

REACT is saving the day when HAM fails ?

Mayday. Mayday. React. React. Come in, please.
React. React. Come save us. React. React. Over.
  LOL!  The only thing that helped a lot of non ham folks call for help when hurricane Sandy hit was CB radio!  By the way, the REACT of today is mostly ham operators.

Who came and saved those "Sandy" survivors when they sent out their distress call via "cb" radio?
Was it Skip Land and Audey Ohh?

No, that is not true. Most of the "react" whacker are not "ham operators.
They are HAM operators.  Big difference.
  Most of the people who heard and relayed those distress calls on 11 meters were truckers, as well has some hams who were monitoring.  It wasn't those folks in "skip land"! LOL!!!

Should I care what your opinion of my writing style is? You know your losing when you need to correct spelling to reply. Your critique will not change me.

But maybe that is the sum of the intelligence you possess.

I never made comment on your writing style, boy.

I just tried to help you out a little.
By all means, don't care and proceed to present yourself as illiterate.

It is the new "norm" and hip thing to do.
