[EAS] Yesterday's CAP RWT

[Gary Timm]

To Adrienne's point, perhaps we might suggest that FEMA maintain a webpage showing the current status of the IPAWS feed (up or down) and a list of the last few weeks of RWTs sent, so as she states stations can consult the list to see if they have missed any RWTs.  Ideally, that list of RWTs would be generated by RWTs actually being sent with the precise issue times, as opposed to the intended scheduled test times.

>The issue is not the test itself but documentation. If a test is sent and doesn't show up on your equipment you have to document that you didn't get the test and why as well as what you are doing to fix the problem. A report from FEMA every week on what tests were sent would be most helpful.

>If FEMA sends an RWT to just the states in the Eastern Time zone it would not show up in other time zones and probably would not need to be logged. However, thats just my feeling. FEMA is a national organization. It would be nice to hear from the FCC on this.
