Some stations, in fact, did - and still do - quite well informing the
public even without all the bells and whistles when there's a threat.
Well, maybe one or two whistles.... Or a trumpet blast, maybe...
The only glitch with CONELRAD was with the various NDEA Primary AM
stations that took more than a second or two to switch patterns - and
set the alarms off all over their operational area twice a day.
BTDT - and still have the T-shirt... somewhere...
