[AMRadio] Fwd: Re: Ebs Test failure

[Jim WB5OXQ inb Waco, TX]

I remember when working as a audio engineer at a TV broadcast station in the 
late 60s we did those tests manually and the voice and tone was on a cart 
and the engineer at the tx had to cut the carrier off and back on.  I don't 
believe that is done any more.  There was another cart sent from the 
government I believe that was sealed and not to be previewed.  We were told 
if we were instructed to play that cart we were to vacate the station 
immediately without even finding out what was on the cart.
