Today's test was not a glitch!  It was a disaster.  And no amount of "tweaking" is going to fix the current EAS system.  We seriously need to admit that "the emperor has no clothes" and toss out all of Part 11 and the entire EAS system.

This was an embarrassment to the media and all of us who have tried to make this system work.  And, trust me, CAP will not make it better and may, in fact, make it worse. 

I'm not sure what the tabulated results will show....but I think my result(s) will be to seriously consider removing my Peoria stations from LP status and then actively searching for my replacement.

I have absolutely ZERO confidence that government at any level can fix this horribly broken system.  They are much more concerned about their pensions, health care and promotions than public safety.  I may change my mind tomorrow, but I am inclined to care just as much!
