[EAS] EAS monitoring sources

[Phil Johnson]

How many times do I have to say this?  

In an emergency and when "normal communication" is kaput, Part 97 is not a
problem:

§97.403 Safety of life and protection of property.
No provision of these rules prevents the use by an amateur
station of any means of radio communication at its disposal to
provide essential communication needs in connection with the
immediate safety of human life and immediate protection of
property when normal communication systems are not available.

Phil Johnson (K7BNU)

"Unlike Part 97, there are no license problems with local EMA's using public
safety frequencies to distribute warnings and alerts to the news media.
Media outlets can get public safety band receivers and plug them into their
EAS."
