[EAS] The case for wireless relay networks to reinforce EAS

[Larry Wood]

In my experience earthquakes rarely disrupt the pointing of satellite dishes. Most dishes are bolted to a secure concrete pad mount on the ground, a steel pipe in concrete, or bolted to a roof. That said, DirecTV just installed a non=penetrating roof mount dish at my house that is sitting on gravel. I expect a sharp jolt could shift it and I would have to re-aim the dish. As I was writing this a 3.6 earthquake just shook my house. My DirecTV is still working.

Cheers,

We have NPR via satellite but an earthquake will disrupt the aim of the dish.  We are not in an earthquake zone but I don't count on it.
