  Got it here in Arkansas as well.

  By the way, I've heard folks refer to the Specific Area Message
Encoder (SAME) tones as "duck farts". <G> For that matter, the EAS alert
tone isn't all that pleasant, either. At least on NOAA Weather Radio,
they still use the 1050 hertz tone for selected watches and warnings,
and that's just "one tone"...mainly to accomodate the older weather
radio models. But, you can no longer get those at Radio Shack, since it
has gone out of business.
