[EAS] Out-of-band RMT

[Fletcher @ UWyo.Edu]

Yesterday, our local NOAA office sent their weekly test.  This is
normal except that it is usually tagged RWT.  Yesterday it was
sent with the event code  RMT.  We made them aware and I
assume they will do whatever they find necessary, if anything.

The problem is this.  Since it is an RMT, you would think that
47CFR11.61(a)(1)(i) would dictate the test must be forwarded
within the 60 minute window.  The same rule also states that
LP or SP stations will originate RMT events.  It is silent about
RMTs coming from other sources.

We are an LP-1.  We originate RMTs for our EAS area once
a month following the stipulations in the rule, so are more
alert to a rogue RMT entering the pipeline.

Here's the quandary:  The test was an RMT, but did not come
from one of the sources indicated by the rules, but is otherwise
a legitimate source.  Are we still required to forward the RMT?

We did so to play it safe.

Thoughts?  Opinions?
