[AMRadio] Ebs Test failure

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

Worked well here in NC. I'm just north of Raleigh, and heard it on
numerous AM stations as well as several FM stations and the local TV
station WRAL carried it as well. Only the cable/satellite TV and some
FM stations carrying national programming seem to have dropped the
ball here, if they were even required to participate. Of course, many
of our local AM stations are still independently owned and local
market-oriented.

Not that it makes me feel any safer. We have far bigger problems with
respect to our security than the EAS (hasn't been EBS for nearly a
decade and a half).

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.
