The key noteable in the EAS test was in the wording... the United States AND Washington DC
Don't let that detail slide by you..
Edit:

Recorded on OTA antenna, the signal started to break up as the EAS started.
Mine says:
State/Local Test
THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No Action is Needed.

See the link i added to op
Would "United States and Chicago" make sense? Nope. So why would "Washington, DC" need to be called out individually
Enemy nation state within our borders. US citizens live there and need to receive the message when actual comes.
Do you live near DC? Just curious as to why it might've broken out DC without mentions of Puerto Rico, Samoa, and other territories.
