[EAS] $55K fine for misuse of EAS tones

[Dave Kline]

OH! I kind of always thought that would be a part of the Chief Operator's duties.
NIce to know I'm off the hook then.

Sure the rules treat the C.O. like the guy who is supposed to mitigate after the fact.
But shouldn't prevention be a part of a plan to not ending up in a mess in the first place?

I always find it interesting that in part 73, the only two entities that seem to be mentioned are the licensee and the C.O.
Any mention of the word manager or it's variations don't seem to waste ink (or bits) in the regs.
