INTRODUCTION -
In 1979, several REACT teams in southern California began operations
with GMRS radios on the Santiago Repeater.
Licensing, organization, and system
coordination was handled by the Southern California React Council (SCRC) through the
Communications Systems Committee. Under the watchful eyes of this committee, the
system grew significantly in size and usefulness until November 1981 when all activities
of this committee were suspended by the Council President.
In early 1982, the Repeater Users Group (R.U.G.) was formed
and licensed (KAD3271) to pick up the vital coordination required to maintain an effective
GMRS system for REACT communication operations. This association is composed of
representatives from REACT teams that have GMRS operations in parts of California, Nevada
and Arizona.

In order to
comply with changes on FCC regulations for the GMRS band
concerning group licenses, we may have to stop using our KAD3271
call sign.
You will
need to identify your communications using your own GMRS call sign.
Nothing else will change on our
objectives
or operations.

R.U.G. will:
1) hold regular meetings to discuss GMRS
operations related to the effective and efficient support of activities;
2) allow representatives to discuss GMRS
operations related to the effective and efficient support of activities;
3) establish an easy-to-understand
training program for GMRS users, and give authorization to members to use the RUG network
of repeaters;
4) strive to establish and maintain a
dependable 24-hour GMRS monitoring program;
5) encourage GMRS monitoring and promote
it's integration with other communication methods;
6) expand the usefulness of GMRS by
exploring new ideas and concepts related to communications; and
7) publish a regular bulletin or
information sheet to keep members aware of local and/or national activities.
We encourage your cooperation and assistance with this
association in support of the above-stated objectives.
