2012 STATE REQUIRED MONTHLY TESTS (RMT) DATES AND TIMES

The times shown are the origination times of State Tests. The tests may be received by your station(s) up to 2 hours after the origination time. This depends on whether your station(s) has a direct link or monitors a relay of other stations. State monthly tests (RMT) are required and must be re-transmitted within 60 minutes of the time they are received. Weekly local tests (RWT) are also required to be run. Stations are reminded that their EAS receiver must be programmed to receive all of the codes listed in the Oklahoma State Plan, but not necessarily activate on them.  Each station should log receipt of 2 RMT tests a month and 2 RWT each week a RMT is not scheduled.
