[EAS] Class D station origination

[Adrienne Abbott]

Clay--
We are in total agreement on this, especially because the FCC takes the
position that Low Power stations are the only stations that truly serve
their communities when in fact, they are as likely to be automated as any
full power station. Satellators often serve communities in remote areas or
even other states, well away from their "hub" station or Mother Ship. Along
with translators, these licenses serve rural communities that often have no
other radio or TV stations. Emergency Managers who want to issue EAS
activations have no way to do so because the parent stations aren't licensed
to serve these remote areas and couldn't care less. The EM's should be able
to go to their locally-funded TV District and get activations issued for
their areas. The FCC needs to do away with the exemptions they list in Part
11.11. They make no sense.

IMHO-

The time has some that ALL Low Powers and Translators should be required to
serve the communities 
They cover with National, State AND local EAS Messages.    This includes
Satellators.   If you have 
An FCC license to serve the public, that should include EAS messages that
have the potential to
Save lives.
