[EAS] Lat week's missed CAP test

[Walter R. Fletcher]

Actually, as the LP-1 for my 5 surrounding 5 counties, and one of two
functioning statewide relays, I can't just log an outage, regardless
what they are.

I'm just saying that it creates "more work" if the FCC starts requiring
a logging of IPAWS RWT events, and looks kind of foolish if FEMA eliminates
the sending of those same events, especially when the equipment gives
the operator a heads up via an electronic (e-mail) notification.
