[EAS] CAP EAS Geography Problem

[Adrienne Abbott]

Another EAS "hairball".FEMA's aggregator has apparently developed a
geography problem and cannot handle CAP EAS messages for multiple states. In
other words, if station KKUD is licensed to a California border community
which is considered part of the Nevada EAS Operational Area and has offices,
studios and transmitter in Nevada, the station won't receive CAP EAS
messages because it is licensed to California. If a Nevada official tries to
send a CAP EAS message with a FIPs code for any state other than Nevada, the
aggregator will kick it back even if the COG originally included California
FIPS codes. Has anyone else had this problem?
