[EAS] Monthly(s)

[David Turnmire]

I would think your SECC should be coordinating RMTs so that only one is 
generated for your area each month.  You may receive it from multiple 
sources... at least two... but if that reflects a single originator, 
then everything after the first one should be recognized as a duplicate 
by your EAS box.  It gets more complicated for stations that are near 
state borders and thus may have an RMT from multiple states.  But absent 
the border area issue, I wouldn't expect you to have duplicate RMT problems.
