Every Virginia schedule I know:
Surry Power Station: Second Wednesday of March, June, September, and December at 11:10 AM. 3 minutes of alert.
North Anna Power Station: Third Wednesday of February, May, August, and November at 11:10 AM. 3 minutes of alert.
Virginia Commonwealth University: First Wednesday of the month at 12 PM. 1 minute of alert, though apparently they run a "full test" every so often that involves 3 minutes of fast wail followed by said minute of alert.
Christopher Newport University: Whenever they feel like it. Supposedly "every few weeks", but I've only heard the system test 4 or 5 times since it was installed (including the 2014 tornado drill). Alert blast bookended by voice messages. *
Jefferson Lab: First Friday of the month at 10:30 AM. 30 seconds to 3 minutes of 10-4 attack. *
University of Richmond: Once a semester; dates are announced in advance. Was first Monday of the month at 1:25 PM until 7/7/2014. *
Langley AFB: No regular siren testing AFAIK, but they do run music every weekday at 6 AM, 12 PM, and 5 PM.
Old Dominion University: No regular testing AFAIK. *
City of Martinsville: Their new system of 16V1T-Bs will test "once or twice a month" once it is installed.
Galax VFD: Saturdays at noon.
Newport News Shipyard: No testing per se, but their Model 5 sounds alert blasts every workday to signal lunch breaks, shift changes, etc.
City of Blackstone: Every first Wednesday of the month at 6 PM. *
Town of Abingdon: Uncertain, but... *
