[BC] EAS

[Larry Fuss]

> One BIG problem is that MPR (Mississippi Public Radio) does NOT relay
their
Statewide EAS tests and alerts over their Network. The State Chair has been
trying to get them to cooperate for years, but this has apparently borne no
fruit. 

>The last RMT we didn't get was last September, and I think that was because
the 
NOAA weather radio hadn't yet been set up to do MS RMT's.

Jerry,

EAS has been around since '97.  You'd think they could have figured out
these issues
by now.  LP-1s and LP-2s that don't cooperate as they are supposed to, need
to be
replaced.  It should be up to the state chairman to do that.  

And there needs to be more communication.  Perhaps a listserv like this for
any stations 
in MS that want to sign up.  As it stands now, if I miss receiving a test, I
have to call 
around to people who don't have a clue about anything, so I just quit
wasting my time.
