        One size does not fit all. 

        If no one is monitoring you,
        and as is normal in most places,
        initiating a test does not
        accomplish much, unless someone
        is listening.

        In this town, 20 odd stations
        all listen to the LP1/LP2/NWS,
        so none of their tests actually
        are heard by anyone to verify.
