nationwide EAS test result on local WMTR AM station

[wa2ise]

Boy did it sound messed up. After the station's "duck farts" (bursts of modem like noises, radio station engineers call it that...) and the older two tone whistles, the audio then cut to a rather noisy message that had lots of crosstalk, as if it was sourced from an AM tuner. You could hear other stations' duck farts and tones under the "this is only a test. Had this been real, the nuke bombs would have vaporized you by now" recording.
