Join Our Team
We are always eager to add dedicated members to our volunteer trained staff! 
Our
application process is relatively straightforward. You will be
asked to fill out a form detailing your contact information, any radio
communication capabilities you have, and whether you have had training
in various emergency procedures. Once the membership votes to accept
you onto our team, you will be issued a unit number and fitted for a uniform
shirt.
In 2004, the uniform
shirt changed from the traditional white uniform style shirt with flags
and patches, to the new more casual red shirt with the embroidered logo
(image shown at right) above the left front pocket. Click

While awaiting membership
approval, you are welcome to join us for any activities we may be involved
in. We typically deploy for non-emergency operations about 6-10 times
a year. We also participate in the ARRL Field Day. There
are several social gatherings each year, which include a team-sponsored
dinner and Christmas party.
We encourage participation
in routine team operations but you don't need to attend every function.
The benefit of regular participation is that we all become accustomed
to working with each other. However, it is most important that
our volunteers be available to serve during times of real emergency.
Membership dues are
$20 per year and there is a $27-$32 one time usage fee per uniform shirt
(amount depends upon shirt size ordered, name/callsign customization included).
The shirt remains property of Hill Country REACT and is
expected to be returned if your membership terminates. You will normally
provide your own personal radio equipment.
The Team may assign you a pair of REACT Team magnetic vehicle signs for use
during events.
If you are interested
in joining Hill Country REACT, please
download and complete a membership application. This form is in Adobe
Acrobat PDF format and is 47kb in size. Bring the completed application
to any Team meeting or mail it to our P.O. Box address below.
