[BC] Usefulness of EAS

[Dale Adkins]

Sorry, Richard....but I recall that stations actually did change 
"transmitter" frequencies.  Participation was voluntary, therefore stations 
that did not switch, signed off.  I think usually only stations with a 
frequency close or adjacent to 1240 and 640 would change. I suppose in some 
cases stations actually changed from one transmitter to anouther. There were 
government funds to assist stations that participated.
However, I don't recall a plan in which operating stations were rotated .
