[EAS] Fwd: CMAS test alert

[Richard_Rudman]

Hi, Al:

Thanks very much for the CMAS reference.

I think it is going to be very helpful for the EAS client community to know as much as possible about CMAS warnings.

When I heard the attention signal I turned around to look for a radio or TV behind me. 

Of course, since the attention signal was coming off a phone hung on my belt, the sound still appeared to come from behind me. 

Reminded me of the old trick when someone behind taps you on the opposite shoulder from where they are standing -- you turn around and no one is there.

I would now like to know if the behavior I noted where the message is not saved is the same for all CMAS providers.
