- KCBS is the lead EBS station these days (KNBR got kicked WAY down the chain
- after the earthquake), in the "North Bay".
-
- Santa Clara County has its own organization. KSJX 1500 is the lead station,
- followed by KEEN and KLOK.
-
- In state/local activations, stations are not REQUIRED to repeat the lead
- station, but damn well better get the information out.
-
- In a missiles-are-in-the-air national emergency, non-participating stations
- will sign off, and everybody else will repeat the lead station.
-
- In the recent FCC Bureaucracy Check, we discovered that we are considered
- a "primary" (participating) station, when we had thought we were non-
- participating. Well whaddaya know...
