[sbe-eas] Question for the group about a station carrying a RMT for an in-DMA area but for an adjacent state

[FRANK BELL]

While the RMT is for the base state, there does not appear any
justification for transmitting one for an adjacent state. Reception of RMTs
from their own state broadcasters is assumed. At such time as alerts can be
delivered selectively, using software in suitable receivers e.g. nextgenTV
or HDRadio which has navigation, then the State Plan can add jurisdictions
or polygons in adjacent States with agreement between the SECCs. However
this is not currently available technology and the scope of
responsibilities of SECCc and an appropriate budget is not the present
situation. This then is a question for such a changed situation in the
future. I hope this opinion is no too complex for you.
