[EAS] Polling interval for CAP station

[Lowell Kiesow]

That's a problem, but CAP distribution cannot and should not be 
designed to try to solve every odd eventuality at the station 
level.  If the station has a firewall or bandwidth limitation, that 
is for them to solve.  In the case of the University firewall, I 
would think a call to IT department would get it fixed pretty 
quickly.  Besides, if the station does any web streaming, and most 
do, they already know how to solve these kinds of issues.
