   Hi Doug , Tim
   I pulled the two official lists off KZYX web site around 2007 when we 
were working to improve some aspects of the station .

   I made the third as a template or starting place after reviewing A. 
Maslow's work on maturity .  Feel free to modify for the better . When 
sent in , they should become part of the stations FCC files, records , 
open to the public . Thanks for you work .

  Tim , as you know , a whopper Earthquake will again hit our region , 
we have 4 or so studios , and three transmitters and need to implement 
a way to cobble together some sort of working system in the aftermath 
of a big EQ . As it is , everything is Philo centric , if a weak link 
in Philo fails , the whole system is down . I feel it would be wise to 
enable the local studios to access the local transmitters as a 
potential failsafe so that there will be / some / post diaster signal 
on the air to aid in recovery . Do you know if KZYX, HAS a Diaster Plan 
?
    Please check out the scenarios in  Cascadia Region Earthquake

           Most folks have no idea of the scale of what happens in a 
major subduction event , and we are due for some .
