        You are more than welcome.

        Indeed. There are a couple of other "minor" errors, which
        one hopes well be corrected in due course (which means
        I've got no idea when - and I'd better not say anything more).

>It kind of got me wondering about how far one could go with "customizing" before it is no longer an FCC EAS handbook. I printed the cover page in color and it graces the front of the binder that contains the rest. Maybe just a pretty cover is all that's required and all of the rest can be tailored to the needs of the station?

        <ggggg>
        I think the key is the procedure. Since it is 
        different at every station, this handbook is
        sort of an acknowledgement of that.
