[BC] Fine? 5k for eas botch?

Query:

I know SOME stations are also including the older EAS dual-tone 
attention signal at least for actual events....

Since its purpose is to call ATTENTION to the message that follows, it 
would seem that the downstream stations (no other station monitors them) 
could use at least the shortened version of those tones to herald Very 
Important Messages...

How many stations DO still use the 2-tone attention signal?
