Just giving you a heads up. Consensus here (iHeart NYC) is to LOG but not forward. Just letting you know. ******The NWS will be conducting "one" communication drill on Thursday, April 28 around 1:15 pm.* We will issue one test message as a Required Monthly Test (RMT) for dissemination through the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and one test message as a Special Weather Statement for dissemination through all NWS communication systems. *George Marshall CSRE * Playout Systems Su ...Continue Reading

Thanks to those who contacted me off list...Unfortunately, I did not see a fact sheet released from FEMA this year or I would have known that the NPT was to be relayed automatically. I was going by basic information from various sources.What's interesting to me is this part from the FEMA fact sheet...>>>>>On test day, broadcasters receive the NPT from the IPAWS EAS ATOM Feed and automatically relay the NPT and associated audio message to the public and other stations according to State EAS Pl ...Continue Reading

Hi all... Was today's regional test supposed to be an automatic relay type of test, so that all of the stations broadcast the test at the same time? I thought it was supposed to be handled like an RMT, where the test is received and it's relayed within 30-minutes....?--Questions? Comments? Ideas? Suggestions?

Good morning everyone. Well yesterday was WOR’s turn to originate the RMT. The test went off without a hitch here and listening to the logger, it sounded fine on the air. I am wondering how the test sounded after being relayed by OEM, WABC, WCBS and WINS? Everyone seems to have received the test…now let’s work on making the tests sound better. I would appreciate constructive comments from everyone and also include what sources you monitor. Thanks for helping make NYC EAS work the best possible! ...Continue Reading

Greetings all: Last night started at 11:20PM with a call from OEM - they were running through the steps to send the test and would abort it before sending - just to re-familiarize themselves with the menu structure on their Sage. Their procedure has them run through the entire send process in the event they need to send a live code rather than an RMT. When they got to the point to verify the RMT event code, the box told them it removed that from the list. We determined that sending through thei ...Continue Reading
