TEST YOUR SIGNAL RECEPTION BEFORE RELYING ON THIS
DEVICE IN EMERGENCIES. RECEPTION of the TEST is the best
way to ensure your radio will have proper reception during an
emergency. The national weather service (NWS) conducts a
required weekly test (RWT) of NOAA all hazards weather alert
radios every Wednesday between 11 AM and 12 noon (central
time), when weather permits.
The test consists of the RWT SAME code, a short tone and
message explaining the test. If adverse weather prevents the test
from being broadcasted on Wed., it is postponed until the next
day with good weather. If the test is not conducted by Friday, it is
postponed until the following Wednesday.
