[AMRadio] Ebs Test failure

[BILL GUYGER]

Yeah, I think eventually the CAP info could be relayed to cell phones via 
streaming from stations but initially I think it's just for more complete 
messaging to the broadcast entities.

I'm still kind of worried about the fallibility of all the high tech stuff. 
Robert Heinlein said "Put all your eggs into one basket, but guard the Hell out 
of that basket". Not sure we're doing that. He also said "Technology reached its 
zenith with the invention of the fork and has been growing decadent ever since."
Smart feller there.

Bill

As to sending alerts to cell phones...... Bill, isn't that part of the intent 
with new CAP protocol? 



I think anyone who has been in broadcasting KNEW it wasn't going to go well. 

Heck, when I was a C.E. here in York PA, it was common for PEMA to flub the 
monthly test somehow.

sound off.
