[EAS] National EAS Test Reports

[Brian Law]

It is a simple question.  For the electronicform, the one we filled out in November, were we supposed to report on translators, or just full service stations?  On November 3, 2011 Chriss Scherer posted this:

I reviewed the message I received from Greg Cooke at the FCC about translators and boosters and the need to complete a national EAS test results form for each of them has been clarified.

When Radio magazine asked the FCC if a form must be submitted for each translator and booster, we were told that each translator/booster would have to file a form. However, this has been changed. The FCC realizes this would be a huge burden for some stations. For now, only the main channel transmitter test results need to be reported in the online form. The FCC also tells Radio magazine the reporting form instructions will be updated to make this more clear.

I took this to mean what it said, that we did not have to file an electronic report for our translators.  So, please, because I do not want to spend money asking my lawyer about this, were we required to file theElectronic form for just full service stations or for translators also?

Please some people speak up about this?

Thanks,
Brian Law
