[BC] That EAS Handbook

[Broadcast List USER]

I really don't think automatic operation is bad.  Now, if they can be  
properly sorted, that should be a be a station  option.

Some stations activate for every weather watch and warning.  Of  
course, depending on where you live, that may be good, but not in many  
areas.  Warnings, OK, not watches.

Also, many operational areas straddle jurisdictions.  Filtering is  
badly needed for unattended operation.
