Obviously there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of people making millions of
dollars from this procedure.  From manufacturers to bureaucrats the bucks
are flowing.  Yet...those of us that are actually responsible for making
this work and formulating the plans for "approval" are expected to be
volunteers and do it for FREE!  Is it just me that is bothered by this?    

Wayne--
This is also one of my sore points--it's been my experience that some of the
bureaucrats and Beltway Bandits who are working on EAS-related projects not
only have no experience with EAS, they have no experience with broadcasting
and as state chair, I have to explain it all to them and guide them through
their projects for FREE! And when you get right down to it, we're all
taxpayers so in the long run we're actually paying to be treated this way.
There are people who are exceptions to this and I really try to support
those individuals where I find them and they're the people who keep me going
in this. But I'll never get back the 28 hours I spent over the "holiday
weekend" updating our Monitoring Assignments list.
