>>> Is conelrad still in existence?
Not as such, but the EBS is the direct successor. Under one name or another they’ve been interrupting television and radio since 1951. The republic is still here.
Oh I remember the old civil defense test pattern on the TV from when I was a kid . Also I think that this is basically a test that will for the most part go as planned unless some smart ass puts out the zombie apocalypse warning by mistake , in which case there will be much screaming/yelling knashing of teeth & banging heads against walls by those who were running this test .
Myself I’m hoping for a nation wide zombie apocalypse alert. 8*> Cause the goobers in Washington DC will look like total asses.
