[Gary Timm]

For those of you who haven't had time to explore the FCC National EAS Test Reporting System nor time to read the details in the FCC's special Test Day EAS Handbook, please see the analysis in my article on AWARE Forum:
http://www.awareforum.org/2011/10/fcc-releases-special-handbook-and-web-forms-for-national-eas-test/
 
Also included in my info:
- Direct Links to handbook, reporting site and its instructions, and Form 1 - in case you've had issues accessing it as others have.
- Commentary on what NN stations should do for the test.
- What TV crawl will look like from your brand of EAS unit.
- The exact script the feds will use for the test.
- Sample "This is a Test" graphic for all TV stations and cable systems to use for the test.
- Link to FCC Lat/Long Converter to determine your location in decimal degrees needed for Form 1.
- Email address and desk phone for Greg Cooke at the FCC.
- Link to EAS Test PSAs for you to start broadcasting.
- and lots more links.
 
Enjoy!
