[grc] EAS Test Today! Form Two due by end of day.

[Will Floyd]

Hi Danny,

You are correct that LPFM stations are not required to have EAS Encoders
like other full-service stations. However, LPFMs must decode and forward
alerts and tests, including tests with the NPT event code (National
Periodic Test).

Hope that helps.
Will
