Re: Why the First Wednesday of the Month?

In Germany usually it's the first Saturday of the month. That schedule is very popular and many people know it. So why not? As long people get used to it and are aware of that, I don't see a problem. Same thing would occur if it was the first Wednesday or something like that as long as it is being c...

Re: European equivalent of AF timer

You are referring to the German signals. So I can speak for Germany only, not for the other countries in Europe. Getting one of these control boxes is not very easy, frankly said. You might have to monitor ebay. What you are speaking of is the so-called "Handsteuergerät" (manual control un...

Re: ukranian siren ambience

Do people in Europe mount sirens on houses? Like personal residences? In Europe siren videos i.e. Switzerland some sirens appear to be mounted on homes. Actually this is the standard. Usually the sirens are mounted on buildings which belong to the municipality such as the town hall, schools and the...

Re: HLS Sirens in Existence

I could help you by giving you more locations.
Is the map supposed to show only the HLS who are in service today or even all that are currently left standing?
Just let me know.

None of them is still operating. Two stood in Rüsselsheim. One was dismantled in the 90ies and the other one was repl...

Re: Would Pearl Harbor have had sirens?

http://www.jmarcoz.com/sirens/pueblo_co.jpg ? That's a Hormann ECN 2400 / 3000. Only sound of both sirens can only differ both. If I got it right, the 2400 has a lower pitch than a 3000.

Re: Grimsby, UK's flood siren

Really, this is really weird for me to see those unique mounting schemes, especially as a German that is used to the normal schemes :D I hope you can find more of them, I am looking forward to see more of them. I am curious what kind of mountings they have... The Flood Sirens are located in the fol...
