[sbe-eas] Required things to relay [was Chilling Effect]

[sbe-eas at fetrow.org]

Ya know what?  I don't care one bit if they have to put EAS equipment  
at every translator.

They SHOULD have to do it.

Unless they want to carry every warning and alert over the entire  
coverage area.

Translators should have to serve the population they cover, just as a  
stand alone station must.
