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.
