Live NOAA Weather Radio Test with Boulder County Communications - Monday 9/8 at noon

Live NOAA Weather Radio Test with Boulder County Communications

On Monday, September 8th at 12 PM Mountain Daylight Time, the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Boulder, Colorado will conduct a live NOAA Weather Radio test in coordination with the Boulder County Communications office. The test message will originate with BCC using the ‘Demonstration’ (DMO) code which will not trigger the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and will not activate older NWR receivers with the 1050 Hz Warning Alarm Tone.

The test message will be broadcast one time only on NWR stations WXJ45, KEC76, WXM92, WXM50, and WXM51. NOAA Weather Radios equipped with Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) and programmed for Boulder County (location code 008013) or with the newer subcode of 908013 for southeast Boulder County will generally default to silence for this test message; this means the receiver will not activate with a warning tone, although your radio device will still visibly light up to highlight that a test message was received.

If you would like to receive the audible alert for this test on your Midland Radio, please follow the instructions below.

In the event severe weather is forecast or occurring on September 8th, the test will not be conducted and will be postponed to another day and preceded by another Public Information Statement.
