[EAS] CAP EAS Logging Question

[Mike McCarthy]

I think that is what I was saying. We're seeing the start of what is 
going to be a problem at the FEMA sending end coliding with our 
obligation to log everything received.  It's an unintended consequence 
of everyone listening to the same conduit. With FEMA inviting more 
sources to the table and joining the party, the traffic builds and our 
reception of new messages increases.  The rules don't account for that 
new traffic.

Or does the FCC and FEMA want us to log everyone's traffic as a check 
and balance.  Another unfunded mandate....?  Oh the conspiracy theorist 
in me...

In a parallel, NAWAS was and remains a wonderful tool.  But when the 
voice roll call is made, it's such a waste of resources to voice poll 60 
some entities.
