I'm writing in regards to the FCC's Emergency Alert System. I am a
hobbyist trying to set up a system to listen for EAS broadcasts in my
area, but although I've read over the documentation on the matter
(11.31, 47CFR)*, I can't figure out what the frequency to listen on
should be. Can anyone offer any guidance on the subject?

All broadcast stations are required to originate a Required Weekly Test
(RWT). They are also required to relay a Required Monthly Test (RMT)
that originates elsewhere. Many stations voluntarily air other alerts
(usually weather-related) but are not required to do so.

Your local NOAA weather radio (162.4-162.55MHz) also carries these, as
well as EAS broadcasts of severe weather watches and warnings.
