[EAS] HD developer proposal for EAS

[tpt at sevenrangesradio.com]

I just skimmed the article, but I assumed that they were proposing to use a secondary channel (HD2 or even HD3) for foreign language EAS alerts--and add a narrow band data signal for text alerting.

Given the propensity for bad ideas to attract the attention of Congress (Think BLU) I can visualize somebody thinking it would be a good idea to mandate EAS second language coverage on an HD channel to reach all the Spanish speakers who aren't (officially) here.

Especially if the guys with HD patent sufficiently lubricated the legislative wheels.
