An idea that just poped into my head ... if one would record with their computer the Wednesday noon S.A.M.E. test braodcast message through a scanner or radio that has a discriminator audio output, one could inject that audio went played from their computer into the mixer circuit of another radio, and transmit that into a dummy load... to be legal about it ;-)
That way you can test and test and test till you get your S.A.M.E. WX alert system just right without having to wait till Wednesday or the next storm to roll through. This also would be way easier than trying to emmulate the actual S.A.M.E datastream. Have you seen the technical data on the S.A.M.E. data? You would have to build your own TNC or modify something just to get it to have the right baud and tone frequencies. Nothing off the shelf will work. Just an idea.
