It appears there are 24 radio stations and 5 television stations licensed
in Guam. From news reports, only 3 stations carried the EAS alert.
Either all the other stations were staffed at 12:25am, and manually
aborted the accidental EAS alert... Or the other stations weren't
configured to carry a CDW alert automatically.
We can learn things from accidents.
