[sbe-eas] Subject: Re: PEP Stations

[Clay Freinwald]

Frankly, I feel the discussion we should be having should be about how to
get 100% participation by stations to air EAS messages that involve the
saving of lives in their area.  Especially since the FCC nixed GMC or the
BWWG alternative.

And it's a discussion we should be having because it's a more realistic
possibility than an all-out thermo-nuclear war between the US and China or
Russia. I know PEP was built during the Cold War in response to the doomsday
scenario, but the world has changed and our need for last-ditch
communications has changed with it. We can't limit our ideas, resources and
thinking about EAS, EAN's and PEP stations to just one unlikely possibility.
We need to keep it real.

Actually EMP is generated in the Ionosphere and would not be conducted
upward to geosynchronous space craft. What would happen over a limited
amount of geography on the ground is a different discussion.
