[EAS] It's not rocket science...

[Adrienne Abbott]

Wow--how can you not know this stuff? I don't care if you are an LPFM
station. This is basic FCC compliance and you shouldn't be on the air if you
don't know.

Some low-power FM stations are finding the process daunting. One reader felt
the entire ETRS system was something of a switcheroo. "The FCC should have
used an existing system like CDBS rather than 'starting from scratch' with
new passwords, new user names, etc.," said John O. Broomall, licensee of
WPCG(LP) in Canton, Ga., and co-founder of the group Christian Community
Broadcasters.

While certain fields are said to be auto-populated to ease the input
process, that has not be the case for WPCG(LP). "You are expected to know
not only the stations you monitor (no big deal), but the class of monitoree
you are and what EAS region you are in."
