[EAS] Monthly(s)

[ray at electronicstheory.com]

That was my original thought - however:

I am seeing more of these:

=======================
A CIVIL AUTHORITY HAS ISSUED A REQUIRED MONTHLY TEST FOR THE FOLLOWING
COUNTIES/AREAS: New Jersey; AT 7:50 AM ON SEP 20, 2012 EFFECTIVE UNTIL 8:50 AM.
MESSAGE FROM IPAWSCAP.
The New Jersey Office of Emergency Management is conducting a test of the
Emergency Alert System. Had this been an actual emergency, the attention signal
you just heard would have been followed by official information or instructions.
This concludes this test of the Emergency alert system.
======================== (cut/paste - just grabbed one at random)

And I have at least one station that received an RMT from both cap & radio a
couple of days apart, and forwarded both of them.
