[EAS] {Spam?} RE: IP transmission of CAP Authority to form State Emerg. Comm. Committees

[Ira Wilner]

Hi Richard,

UHF, at least in New Hampshire, is part of the EAS backbone from NHSEM to
the LP-1's.  And our frequencies are in the BAS service band which the FCC
wants to give away to others.  So, that may go away!

And finally, one more plug for my idea that the FCC and FEMA ask local
governments and states to allow CAP overrides for existing UHF low priority
repeater systems to backup, reinforce and be last ditch ways for CAP-EAS
messages to get to broadcast and cable entry points. 

IP delivery from public or private sources via the internet is not enough,
and a fall back to "Classic EAS" is to me not a sound long term strategy for
warnings that are supposed to save lives and property.

Yea or Nay on that?
