- Sad to say, singing EBS tests or in fact ANY EBS test other than
- "serious cold voice" are DEEPLY discouraged by the Powers What Be.
-
- The philosophy is that EBS is expected to be for public safety-oriented
- traffic, and things which detract from its status as a source of
- "serious" information are a no-no. At KDVS, and presumably at KROY
- whence they got it, there was a silly beat-bebop EBS test which was
- eventually prohibited.

- Can't win 'em all...
