[EAS] An idea for the montly test

[Don Heppelmann]

This is something I sometimes wondered about as well. 

I would suggest make the national "RMT" a live event and required real-time broadcast. That would truly make it an EAN test event. Can be transmitted randomly in the middle of the night read "maintenance window" as well. Forget the day and night times rotation testing.

Here's a thought that we all might want to get behind.  Since EAS is a national system and the RMT is a federal requirement, why not have FEMA do the monthly test?

This would replace the patchwork systems of 50 states and test the ENTIRE system.

It would also take a great deal of pressure off the "volunteers" who try to keep the current cobbled up systems working.

Just a thought, but I would vote for it today!
