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 all codes. Each station should log receipt of one RMT a month (from two sources) and two RWT each week a RMT is not scheduled.

To ensure proper logging of EAS tests we suggest you furnish a copy of this schedule to your Traffic department and post this card in the Control Room.

Any questions about EAS tests or monitoring should be directed to State Co-Chairmen Roger Herring, rherring@mizzen.net, or Britt Lockhart, eas.britt@gmail.com, or log onto the EAS website at www.okeas.org.
