[EAS] Spanish Language Version

[Harold Price]

Mike,

Do not be perplexed. Currently, if an alert is already sending, as is 
the case where the message was heard on EAS first, we log the CAP 
duplicate after the outbound EAS message completes.  That is probably 
the cause of an apparent one minute or more delay.  It is also 
possible that the user has set a 60 second poll time.

You can see the actual arrival time on the tools page, click the 
IPAWS button under the log header.  We'll fix this in the future.  It 
has always been like this, it isn't unique to the NPT.

I received the message from CAP at 2:20:21 pm EDT on one of the five 
test ENDECs here.  The spread was :21, :24, :32, :45, :51.
