[BC] EAS

[Jerry Mathis]

We now monitor a station that's to the south of us (I forget the 
call/frequency) that is a RELAY for the Jackson station. There was a big 
stink a while back, because a local TV station called the FCC because we 
weren't carrying all the tests. The FCC actually came up and took a look. We 
had recently gone through our system to be sure it was working, and I had  
put our tests into log form for easy reference. It turns out that the Relay 
station (it's owned by AFA, I believe) wasn't forwarding all the tests they 
were supposed to be. I don't know all the details, but I believe the relay 
station was "reamed, steamed, and cleaned" over the situation, but we are 
now getting all the tests.
