[EAS] CAP Converters

[Clay Freinwald]

Mike, my old friend - 

You really need to take the time to carefully read the comments filed by the
BWWG....I believe you will come away with a whole new way of thinking about
this.

We were very critical about GMC and recommended the Feds take a completely
different approach to this.    We submitted that what should be 'must-carry'
are certain events where clearly lives could be saved, ie, this whole
mandatory thing should be 'Event-driven' etc.

I have been preaching for years about the fact that it's just plain wrong
for a broadcaster (of any flavor) to ignore a Tornado warning or similar
event where advance warning could be life saving...Yet this is just what
many broadcasters do.  Is it any wonder why those in Emergency Management
feel that EAS is an un-reliable means of public warning?
