: Or, you can think of it as a success in that the reason you test is to make sure something works, and this clearly exposed a major problem with EAS here. The audio was completely garbled. Sounded like a string can telephone set up in front of a mic in a room full of other people talking.
: The few stations I could scramble to check during the 30 second window seemed to carry the alert (except for WTLX), but the audio on all stations was TERRIBLE.
: Who is the primary station for Madison? This sounded like shit!! I'll have an MP3 up shortly.
I know the primary in Milwaukee is WTMJ-AM and it sounded horrible too. On TV as well. I feel like Madison might be WIBA-AM? Or it might just come from Milwaukee I'm not sure. Someone can clarify I'm sure.
