We have two stations at one studio building.  Because the
two stations are licensed to two different towns 25 miles
apart, the state EAS plan, handed down from the gods on Mt.
Olympus (that's 40 miles north of Mt. hope) decree different
monitoring assignments.

Since we have just one EAS box, we monitor two different NWS
sources and two different state relays. One of the primary
relay stations has been monitoring their statewide source
off an internet stream--since an LPFM now blocks reception
of their primary station.  The other gets their feed off-air
from somewhere.

So the RMT's usually arrived several seconds apart--the
off-air relay getting priority, the second feed then is
ignored.  If the rmt was sent both by CAP/ internet and
off-air, would not the same thing happen?  First in = First
Out.
