There was an EAS Required Monthly Test

This just happened recently, about 10 minutes ago while watching the television in the waiting room at the hospital (check up). It started off with the audio muting for 10 seconds, along with the banner appearing. After the 10 seconds, the header tone played, followed by a 15~20 second tone that sounded like an MAEH on electromechanical. The test message was barely comprehensible. I would hate to imagine what it’d be like if it were an actual emergency. Overall, in my opinion, this was not a successful test. Do you think the problem originated in the activation of the test, or the channel’s EAS decoder?
