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

[Ira Wilner]

Analog SAME and it also relays NWR SAME alerts from Gray Maine to our LP-1's.  In Keene NH we also monitor a Vermont NWR funded by Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant as part of their NRC license agreement.  Some of our NH towns are in the 10 mile RERP zone of that plant.  And we also have plenty of listeners in Vermont.   So we cross polenate with the Vermont plan and also monitor Windham County's LP-1.
