[EAS] Lacking Common Sense...

[Ira Wilner]

Well, this explains why a co-located cell site in one of my transmitter buildings never had its battery bank connected or charged up.  The batteries have been sitting there for a few years!  We do have a standby generator at our site, but the cellular tenant is not on our protected power!  Our two radio station tranmsitters located there are protected.

>Keep in mind when the FCC required 8 hours of battery for cell sites the cell companies sued and won.  That allows them to have little battery backup.
