[sbe-eas] More tests using live EAS codes

[Sean Donelan]

Because FEMA IPAWS program managment office asks alert originators to 
conduct a proficiency demonstration every month using "live" EAS codes, 
and alert origination software have bad user interfaces -- expect to see 
mistakes with "test" messages activating live emergency alerting systems 
somewhere in the country every few months.

Fortunately, the latest one had the WEA (cell phone) box unchecked, so it 
didn't send the test message as a live alert to phones.  But it did send 
to broadcasters and cable systems.
