The writer of that piece says hearing ten bells on Sat. morning grabbed 
his attention, as it was meant to do, however one of the reasons many 
stations missed that botched test/alert is that ten bells were sounded 
EVERY Saturday at the same time for the expected test. I suppose that 
the reason for ten bells even for tests was to test automatic 
bell-counting alarm devices too.
