[@StateCollegeCONELRAD]

There's 2 possibilities, one, the radio activated really late for the WSW or it decoded the static as a EAS alert.

[@MidiMaze178]

WSW for that radio: So the station crashed, right? Maybe it crashed right in the middle of the tones for the test on that one. But it has to activate a message for it. So while the tone was going, it may have crashed in the middle of it. This would mean that the tone would be confused for that radio, and it would display the WSW instead of the RWT. tl;dr Tone mixup. Also, maybe they repeated the message from Feb. 1st on the 12-521.

[@LunaReviews]

MidiMaze178 or the radio decoded static. This once happened with my Midland WR100. I was trying to go to sleep, and it went off for a Radiological Hazard Warning, and none of my radios said so.

[@MidiMaze178]

@Luna’s Retro Tech this makes the most sense, you’re probably right. i commented that when i was 12 and wanted to look like i knew things, sorry about that :D

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="440">7:20</a> snow man warning!

[@SPCBrawnson]

what da hell

[@TheCuber2400]

My hypothesis: You remember the double header weekly test that crashed my station a while ago? I think something happened similar to that. Maybe the station was only able to send out one header burst, or only a partial one before it went dark, which was only picked up on the 12-521, and showed up as a WSW because of noise on air. That's what I can think of.

[@SPCcranford1056]

Interesting hypothesis!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="440">7:20</a> Lol you renamed WSWs to “Snowman Warning”

[@FireBladeStudios]

Lmao

[@radargeekwx]

How do you even do that lol

[@Prnencetti]

I got the same problem you had when I was first setting up my Radio Shack 12 - 991 weather radio. W X L 31 in Syracuse went off the air for a couple of days but when they came back they had the brand new voices so I'm thinking you might be getting an upgrade to your Weather Radio and they shut down the station to upgrade it. As for the winter weather warning you might just have a glitch on your radio maybe they were testing the radio since it is test day like you said and I could be testing out the radio who knows

[@cahepride]

This has happened to me a lot! Sometimes because of cloudy conditions or not getting a good signal or it just did it randomly

[@thisdudeBen]

The winter storm warning on the radio shack could be explanatory because like 99 6 it could have gotten an alert but misshurd the tones and thought it was a winter storm warning but it was actually required weekly test like when a radio says unrecognized warning and recognized watch and so forth it could have misheard and instead of putting unrecognized warning or unrecognized statement or etc it put a winter storm warning

[@Next_Generation_EAS]

I know this video is 8 years old, but let me explain what I think happened. I think the radio (12-996) misdecoded the event as a 6 hour event (as you said). But for the 12-521, it likely "ghost activated" (which more commonly occurs on 1050 hertz activated radios, but can still occur on S.A.M.E radios).

[@MegaT486i]

What's that clock you have up there?

[@newagederpderp]

For the random RWT on the one, sometimes the purge can be set to a really long time (sometimes >6hrs!) and I think that's what happened there. But idfk about the winter storm warning.

[@ivaporizedmitski]

@@SPClilyfoote He added it the alert by himself by replacing the Winter Storm Warning.

[@mawj09eas4]

I know, that doesn’t make sense. That’s weird!

[@TwoWheelDriveOnly]

I read this in NOAA. Apparently, The station was offline and alerts were sent off.

[@alexandershilling]

That’s strange I don’t know why it would show a winter storm warning when there are no winter storm warnings in effect that’s really weird in my opinion

[@TheCuber2400]

It also reminds me of when the station was off the air a long time ago, and only your WR-100 triggered an "immediate evacuation."

[@SPCcranford1056]

Oh yes, I remember that! Scary as anything waking up to that in the middle of the night!

[@linysirenfirebuff4786]

It was probably like that because sometimes my WR120 goes out and turns back on and then I have to setup everything all over again. I think that happened because yours probably went out too and it set itself to a different State/County and there was a winter storm warning for that state or county. Try going to the menu to set channel and see if it was on the right channel. It probably set to a different station mine is Upton witch is channel 4. then when I went to turn it on It was set to a Connecticut station

[@SPCcranford1056]

Interesting!

[@sukhoiwolf9705]

TrainsCars&WRs it's is actually a glitch in the weather radio

[@sukhoiwolf9705]

SPCcranford1056 sup

[@LunaReviews]

LISirenfan1003 my wr100 does that a lot every time I plop it on my bed, and then it shuts off, and turns back on again.

[@WesternMassEAS]

Channel 4 was set to a CT station? Most likely WXJ41

[@WheelerYT]

I think the radio tower went out and the one with the WSW was a glitch

[@SPCmuncie]

Normally on KJY93 Muncie, Indiana and WXM98 Marion, Indiana RWT and RMT's are 6 hours long like SVA's and TOA's

[@northernillinoiseas]

I’m really late here but I think they probably sent out like 1 tone of a winter storm warning and that is probably why only the 12-521 activated because it only needs one tone to activate I might be wrong but I’m not sure

[@VideOH]

Holy shit how many radios does it take to get a warning lol

[@cookiepower1173]

Ya man

[@TheGamingKingpin]

IT'S OVER 9000!!! (I'm joking. LOL)

[@Galactipod]

One.

[@TheGamingKingpin]

Yes. At least one.

[@Jackeltron]

374

[@SPCcleveland9035]

I am thinking a misread, or the radio somehow picked up a header from an overlapped station

[@joec4050]

The Detroit/Pontiac office usually sends the RWT out as a 6 hour event every time

[@tinasabatino5605]

Maybe it mistaken that EAS tone to be a Winter storm warning Instead of a require weekly test

[@KHB37listener]

The header malfunction hypothesis makes sense to me, though that should mean that your EAR-10 would have it as well. No idea on why there was no RWT, though my WFO has done that once too for no reason.

[@SPCcranford1056]

Exactly! Very bizarre if you ask me.

[@whgpjm]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="103">1:43</a> video progress time, i heard what i recognized as a pre-DECT6.0 panasonic WIRELESS phone those are the only phones that offer that ringtone

[@tristateareawx1447]

if you think that's weird then listen to this... so i was on the nws website and a tornado warning had popped up on the map and i had been listening to noaa weather radio for probably 5 minutes before the warning came up on the map and i listened for about 15 minutes and there were no warnings at all

[@user-qh8nb9zl7q]

Did they send winter storm warning out by mistake?

[@StevenViets2006]

The winter storm warning was probably a glitch with the radio itself. I had a weather radio glitch by permanently having an avalanche warning and i live in Ohio... there was no avalanche warning

[@happynarwal1015]

Hey this was on my birthday!!! :>

[@SPCBullitt1999]

It might have misread the RWT as a winter storm warning?

[@SPCcranford1056]

That's possible, but keep in mind no other radios activated for the RWT.

[@immortalgamingyt6182]

When you realize your weather radios are on lean

[@SilverThunder710]

The reason KWO35 went out is because it's KWO35.

[@itzkal4268]

Bro how many alarms things do you have oh my god

[@catfish.mp5361]

I think kwo35 tried to send out an RWT but phone line went out witch caused the same codes to send a winter storm warning and the radio shack went off due to the same codes

[@MessageGaming]

That happened with WXL93 they went out when issuing a RWT and my wr-120 thought it was a tornado warning

[@newagederpderp]

r/facepalm

[@JakeM2slot]

Doesn't your 521 select its channel for you?

[@HesitantSignal]

I wonder if KWO35 malfunctioned and sent out the first part of the header for a WSW. The RadioShack radios go off on the first blast but the other radios go off on the third blast, so that might be why the RadioShack is the only one that got it.

[@SPCcranford1056]

That is possible... KWO-35 has messed up in the past!

[@noeisdas8055]

That is likely what happened.

[@allegiant804-floridaaviati5]

I'm late, but wouldn't that mean that the EAR-10 would have to have the WSW scroll?

[@HesitantSignal]

+NWSRuskin329 Doesn't the EAR-10 go off on the 3rd header too?

[@SPCcranford1056]

+Pyrodron Productions EAR-10 goes off for the first header

[@scaprod558]

The station probably had an issue and went off.

[@EAStorcon100]

Lance Stinson probably

[@jonsalisbury21]

Maybe it was on the wrong NOAA Weather Radio channel or the NWS in Upton, NY Might of fell asleep 😴 on the Winter Storm Warning button?

[@spcridge2012]

I have some answers for you listed below. 1. For the Weekly Test Scroll: The reason the Weekly Test scroll is up on KZZ31 for 6 Hours is that it can sometimes read it as that either due to static, or sometimes they send it out in general. I've had that happen to me so many times before. 2. For the Radios not leaving a trace of Weekly Test, I did not leave anything recording in my room that day, however I was told that some radios started ringing around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="660">11:00</a> AM, but strangely enough, the WR-301 didn't leave a trace, probably due to static. This I'm not sure about. I can't explain the WSW scroll on the Radio Shack 12-521. I'm baffled too by the way! The one week I don't tape the Weekly Test is the week something mysterious happens!! Also, the NYC transmitter is down due to that telephone line issue. I hope they get it back up soon because there is a possible wintry event on the way, if you heard about it.

[@SPCcranford1056]

The good news is that KWO35 is back on the air! Bizarre day to say the least!!

[@spcridge2012]

***** Very true!

[@AdamHally-v1d0n]

I think it may be a decoder error for this video (which meant the RWT was toned as a -WS, and the alert closer to that is a WSW, which is a Winter Storm Warning.)

[@peskybobcat]

Your antenna is broke on the one that is messing up

[@Maxwellrobloxandmore]

Maybe Kwo35 has went off the air so the weekly was not issued but that 521 has ghost activated
