Seabrook Primary, Was RE: EAS

[Gary F <gff@mediaone.net>]

Funny you mention that Bill.  I was at Hampton Beach over the weekend and there were signs all along the boulevard telling people that in case the hi-low sirens went off tune their radios to 97.5 FM (WOKQ) for emergency information.

The EAS voice I heard relayed on WXRV was definitely a WBZ news voice, not
that of WBMX.  (Could WXRV be a tertiary?  Doubt that.)  Spkg. of WXRV, they
were once the primary for Seabrook Nuke plant warning system.  I recall some
sort of receiver at WCAP 10 yrs or so ago.  Whatever happened to that?
