To us old farts, the whole point of the weekly test was to train and
keep trained the station's operators.
An automated test satisfies the letter of the law but not the intent
to have the staff trained. There is this old story about a station
that made up a cart of 1 kHz tone, static, tone, static, tone and the
rest of the EBS message and ran that on their automation until they
got a visit from a federal agency.
I will acknowledge that "staff" is not something that stations have these days.
If you insist on DTMF use the 4th column. Learned that lesson a
loooong time ago.
