[AMRadio] Fwd: Re: Ebs Test failure

[Robert Lawson]

I wonder what White House appointee FEMA Bufoon choose and ordered a No
Fail Safe/No Plan B EBS system.  In these political times this does not
surprise me in the least.  I wish my Gary Larsen's Far Side cartoon
could be seen in my attempted attachment as it about covers it all.

Remember when we were kids and would hear the weekly broadcast band
local radio stations' CD weird beeps and buzzes and then a, "This has
been a test from......"?   I certainly do in my memories. And those two
'special' marked spots on the dial to go to if the balloon went up.

Greeting to all from Pensacola FL.

Only one independent am station KBBW which is a Christian talk station had the test on and the audio was poor. I would say it is a miserable failure when the largest station network does not have the test on... I can clearly pick up at least 10 fm and loads of am stations from Central Texas and only 1 am had the test. Is this the best our government can do? What a joke.
