[EAS] IPAWS RWTs

[Guentz, Tim]

Thanks for response Barry. My reference to radio station audio was not meant to be literal. I should have stated that, in the case of a Sage Endec, the browser interface may show it's OK but the data sent may be jibberish. We are sending and receiving RWT's, and God help us if we don't! Is FEMA omnipotent and does not need to test?
