[EAS] Should the RWT EAS Code be abolished?

[Mike McCarthy]

Then maybe we need a composite injection device and the EAS box placed 
at the TX. Oh...they don't make that.  Never did.  Oh and the logging 
requirements with the paper tape made is just beyond impractical to 
place it at the TX. Then let's not forget the TX on a mountain which can 
only be accessed twice a year for refueling.
