The test only succeeds if the program works properly this failed because some failed to disbatch it which is a fatal flaw another flaw was the tones playing over the voices
This is only a test. National EAS test. This is a test. This is only a test. We repeat This is only a test A Primary Entry Point System has issued A test
Nah if I was home alone and that came on, I would be terrified. The fact that there are about 4 tones playing in the background just gives me the chills
I love how in every other National Test video I've watched on YT, the EOMs are sent unusually (4 to 6 tones instead of 3), but the tones here were timed out just so there were only 3.

Years of watching weekly tests on my local TV station, listening to the radio for weather alerts and tests, and just being fascinated with weather. I am also interested in the odd.
They've actually changed how it works now, thanks to all the youtube videos making it pretty useless. The new system is actually very scary, but the idea is to get your attention and to take action.
I'm glad they don't put these tests on PlayStations, Xbox's and computers especially if you're watching sports that is on live or playing video games. I'd be scared and pissed at the same time if they do it for real. I know it's supposed to alert you, but the way I see it, it just wastes my time. Even though, sometimes they lie saying it's only 30 seconds, then it becomes like 2 to 4 minutes longer or when it's over, they put it back up again.
I know that you posted this back in like 2017 or so but nowadays people are on streaming, which means that issuing the EAS is alot harder to do since most people use cable
News headline: EMERGENCY ALERT TEST Newcaster: Keep in mind, it is only a test Scrolling text that appears twice: THIS IS ONLY A TEST... Still text: NATIONAL EAS TEST. THIS IS A TEST, THIS IS ONLY A TEST. Audio: This is only a test. so do you think it's a real emergency?
This is only a test. A primary entry point system has issued an Emergency Action Notification for the following counties: District of Columbia, DC. Effective till 6/25/20 08:09:00 EST. EASyPLUS ... this is only a test

I am guessing after the new Planned Nation EAS test, They would either do it every year, Force the test in case events in the world that is happening that could lead to the need of EAN, or both. Infact, Would the Emergency Alert System Rules allow the encoder operator (or decoder) force a EAS test??
There are plans for another EAN test later this year. Should be interesting since it will probably involve testing CMAS for mobile phones as well. it also looks like that a long-term testing plan is in fact something that will be born out of this. www.radioworld.com/article/fema-ipaws-targets--for-next-national-eas-test/271525
GhostFreeman Hopefully we don't get the feedback loop from the first one. Or That some poor souls don't have to hear Lady Gaga's Paparazzi instead of the message.
Tests are being performed, changes are being made. Here is the info on the planned changes for the EAS. This is what was learned from this 2011 test. apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-320152A1.pdf This is more information. apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-13-1969A1.pdf This is the public order discussing what changes are being made, including the new United States FIPS geolocation code and National Periodic Test event code. apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-15-60A1.pdf
