You mean The Emergency Alert System. With those annoying "eechh, eechh,eechh" noises.

I miss the old EBS, with the piercing steady tone. Back in the '70s as a kid, you always wondered if the missiles were inbound (My Dad was in SAC.)

I hate it when this happens - but you have a point - I didn't think it through. (translation: you're right - I'm wrong) Thanks for clarifying...
