[EAS] Alerting options

[Robert Paine]

 Here's another that "will never happen" and maybe the idea is full of holes, but at least it's an attempt: Since the analog VHF channels are freed up, why not utilized part of that spectrum as a dedicated national, regional and state alerting system. Any combination of voice and digital could be used. Since the old V channels had pretty decent coverage, a good transmitter might have a good reception area. When necessary, satellite booster xmtrs would fill in the gaps.
 I'm a very non-technical person and if this has already been proposed in one form or another, the Emily Letilia disclaimer applies: nev-ver mind.
