Twice each week a given EAS decoder should receive two RWTs or a substitute therefor. This provision gives a Chief Operator a means to determine whether or not the station's EAS decoding system is functioning properly. Without RWTs, this tool would be lost.

        But that would be an RWT for the LPs.
        It still does no good to make all the
        other stations *send* a test to nowhere.

        The RMT or other activations should do that
        quite nicely, I'd think
