>>What does it mean when a station broadcasts a series of EAS data squawks with no preamble or post-squawk explanation? I've heard this a couple of times over the past two weeks on WHCN Hartford.<<

It's probably a Required Weekly Test (RWT, in EAS lingo).  The FCC doesn't require voice announcements with the RWT.
