Survey Monkey retains survey data for as long as you keep your account -
even unpaid.  Of course, YMMV, murphy's law, etc.  I have survey monkey data
still online from years ago in free accounts, but I made sure I pdfs and/or
printed out the substance.  If you lose your username/PW, then that's a
different problem.

Just a data point (we all know that SECCs are volunteer, unpaid, unbudgeted
creatures), to results from 100+ respondents, you could buy 1 month on a
month to month plan for $35.  (but remember, you get full access to all
respondents under a plan, but once you stop a plan you can't see more than
100 responses.  The data remains, but you can only access the first 100
responses.

The FCC did not provide any specifics on the data range they were looking
for, so the summary tables (paid or unpaid plans) may or may not be
sufficient, even without digging into individual responses.  Big gray area
from a research design perspective.

Just a reminder to SECCs who used Survey Monkey.
If you did a FREE survey, you will only see the first 100 responses you
received.
If your results show you received exactly 100 responses, you likely received
more than that.
It looks on the Survey Monkey site that if you now pay a fee, you can then
see the rest of your survey results beyond 100.
It would seem that any SECC that directed its EAS Participants to a Survey
Monkey survey as a way for those EAS Participants to be compliant with FCC
rules, that SECC has now obligated itself to paying Survey Monkey to see all
received replies to the survey.
If the FCC does at some point ask SECCs which EAS Participants responded,
all SECCs must be very legally careful to report all replies received,
including those beyond the 100 available in a Free Survey Monkey survey.
In addition, for those SECCs storing their survey results with Survey Monkey
until needed in 2018 to report to FCC, you might want to try to establish
with Survey Monkey how long they retain these results, lest you lose the
results and the proof of which of your EAS Participants complied.

We received a total of 100 responses - Many of which represented station
clusters.

I appears that the distribution of notice of this requirement could have
been better.

Certainly the process of handing this to SECC's to handle was a unique move
by the Commish -

Thankfully we are able to handle it here due to the number of active members
of our SECC...Those states that have one-man SECC's may wish to expand their
membership so that more are available to carry the load.

Clay-

Did you receive mine?

I am hoping for an update from CBA this week on how many stations responded.
I received in my personal email more emails than I can count along with a
