[EAS] New EAS handbook

[Mike McCarthy]

We are at a point where EAS-II should start being discussed. With ASTC 3.0
containing a field for emergency alerting and advances in data
transmission capabilities on both FM and AM, the need for in-band
signalling to simply relay messages is no longer needed---except where
public notification is desired.

Where that to occur, broadcast would then become an instantaneous
attraction for local/state message dissemination.

It's no secret that the PD and GM being part of the loop for relaying
messages is hamstringing EAS today. Get them out of picture and we'd have
a largely functional EAS system....as opposed to dis-functional.
