[sbe-eas] Requests about EAS test information

[Rob Dale]

Interesting - what could they do which could impact EAS and/or PBS by knowing the test time?

That may be the case, but there is *also* a sizable community of people who are looking to make trouble for stations...especially folks of the right wing persuasion, politically, looking to make trouble for *public radio* stations...any way they can.

I could see EAS being (somewhat) a preferred tactic because it's one of the few ways the FCC is known for cracking down very hard on licensees about.

I can vouch and say that there is quite the sizable community surrounding EAS and some individuals do listen for alerts over stations half-way across the country through various means. It doesn't necessarily surprise me that someone from another state might be interested in this information.

My best guess is that some stations might not have recorded test patterns, and some kid is curious to know about it.
