It received it two times in the past but this past wednesday it was
silent for the whole weekly test time frame.

I checked NOAA and no significant weather was ongoing to prevent such
a test from being done.

Should I be concerned or does this happen now and then [that is, does
NOAA sometimes forget/fail to send out the weekly test?]

thanks



What type of weather radio do you have? There have been recalls on a few
that fail to alert as they are supposed to...

It could also be an issue with signal strength. The signal in my area is
not very strong, and sometimes I don't get the weekly alert either. Depends
on weather conditions, humidity, etc. Somedays the signal comes in good,
other days you can't hear it.
