[EAS] Should the RWT EAS Code be abolished? II

[Tom Spencer]

CAP, legacy EAS, legacy EBS, heck, even legacy CONELRAD...

It needs to be tested end-to-end every so often just to make sure it 
*/does/* work, and /*will*/ work when needed.

Does your station have a standby generator?  a backup transmitter?  
backup STL?

Don't you test them every so often, "just in case"?
