[EAS] Should the RWT EAS Code be abolished?

[Mike McCarthy]

It's 30 years too late.  Especially with many processors still at the 
TX's and no real means to convey real time closures ***to*** the 
transmitter.  No station is going to want an investment to freeze the 
processor for down stream stations.  Non-starter. Dead on arrival.  That 
train will never steam on.
