Its not in the Park 11 rules.  An FCC person may have told someone
something once upon a time, but it was never written into the rules. 
Vendor manuals aren't authoratative.

Its one of many ambigious things in Part 11 that have never been addressed 
formally by updating the written Part 11 regulations, or formally 
documenting the FCC's interpretations somewhere.

Sending expired EAS messages isn't in the rules, whether its an expired
RMT or an expired EAN.  On the other hand, the rules say a RMT is required 
monthly.  So how is a daytime only station supposed to be compliant?

Is it any different from any other EAS message received while the station 
is off the air?  If you aren't on the air, you don't forward EAN, TOR, 
etc. and don't send them when you start broadcasting again.  Make a note
in the station log the station was off the air at the time?

If you want a brain twister, try to figure out how EAS should behave if 
the President begins an EAN while your station is off the air, and the 
message is still in progress when you resume broadcasting.  Do you 1) 
ignore it, 2) join the message in progress without sending the EAN AFSK, 
3) send the EAN AFSK and start the message from the beginning, 4) 
send the EAN AFSK and join the message in progress, and something else?
