[EAS] Lat week's missed CAP test

[Walter R. Fletcher]

How do you know you missed teh RWT while NWS was off the air?
The one may not be due to the other.

11.21(a) cites NWS as a transmitter of EAS traffic (emergency, not just
weather) to the public, an activating authority in essence.

"Don't make more work than you need to..."

OK, then.  Don't worry about the IPAWS  RWT's.  Instead, rely on the CAP
encoder/decoder equipment e-mailing you (as they do) when there is a
disruption in the connection.  The RWT just generates "more work".
