[EAS] EAS reporting

Agreed most of the requirements are asinine.  Never the less....you can 
1) Call your counsel or consultant to waste their time and the licensees 
money to fill them out; 2) do it yourself.

The latter....go to {fccinfo.com}

Enter the desired station's call sign for the search.  When the station 
(s) come up, click on the station of specific interest.  Then click on 
the {MAP IT} icon.  The coordinates of the transmitter are from the CDBS 
and are given in a number of flavors including pure decimal point to 5 
digits.  Which is sub-second.  Please note: I can not speak for the 
accuracy of the conversion.  But I suspect with this site developed by 
and maintained by good engineering folks, there is a presumption the 
calculations are very close.

Hats off to Dan Ryson for creating what is arguably ***the*** most 
useful tool for me on the web.  It has saved me (and many others like 
me) literally weeks of work since the system went live.
