[EAS] NPT at KKNU

[Clay Freinwald]

Gary - 

Very important for a couple of reasons - 

1- If a participant relays the CAP Feed, it will likely be of better audio
quality.
This was the primary driver behind Washington State setting up it's own CAP
Server a number of years ago.  

2- Multilingual - We, like a lot of states, have a large number of
non-English speaker.   Pretty hard to address them with an emergency message
using legacy/SAME based EAS.    Our State wants to get these messages in
Spanish so that Spanish formatted broadcasters can air them.

That help?

Is it really THAT important which one 'won the race' ?

I find this entire blow-up about the subject to be a Tempest in a Tea Cup.
