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.
I think it was a trap. Many people did not get the message, so something is wrong. It was a trap to find out who was playing ball with us, and who was blocking us. Good job, white hats!!
