Possibly, I don't think the time frame for an individual station's
test was that restrictive. There was a requirement (something like
15-30 minutes) for a station to respond to an alert from an 'upstream'
station.

The real issue back then was that the compliance of what was a real,
authenticated, action alert message was very very low. Fortunately the
message was sent in error.


Mark  "This station is now concluding its test of the Emergency
Broadcasting System. If this had been an actual emergency you would
have been notified ... " Really? Promise?
