I'd be interested in this myself, would like to see how badly that thing got dinged up.

Pilger, NE SRNB sounding in alert

Been a while since i've posted this stuff. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152498787374169&fref=nf Google street view shows a newer-ish 2001 SRNB siren in the town. As far as I could tell, this siren took a direct hit from the tornado... along with the rest of the town. =| The tornado pat...

Re: Defiance, Ohio Federal 508 6-7-14

That thing packs a punch when it kicks on! Would be rather neat if they considered making a dual tone of that siren one day, but that era is long since gone. :)

Why would it fall over? It's galvanized steel bolted to a concrete footing in the ground. It's not like it will rot out and warp like a wooden pole. Plus it looks a lot nicer. When I watched the video, the perspective of the recording, while not in full-screen or zoomed in made it appear it was on ...

Re: Saint Paul, Nebraska Thunderbolt 1003 Alternate Wail

Went to Saint Paul to record their 1003 because I found out they test their fire signal on the 15th of the month. Blower is going backwards but, other than that, it sounds really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoAznrsESGI I was wondering why it had so much swaying going on... thought the pol...

Re: Several loud sirens in Springfield, Mo.

I've never seen a Thunderbolt with the blower box mounted that high up on the pole. If not for the guy wire, that pole would look like a parenthesis. The only other times that I have seen such a configuration was when a siren was in a known flood plain, thus most (read:just about all of it) of the ...

And a little further up on the view, we have a siren on the tower. Makes me wonder this dual purpose siren.

Re: Distance Recording: Thunderbolt 1003, Hi-Lo

Very impressive sounding T1003 at a distance. Those trees really do garble the sound, makes it sound pretty eerie! :thup:

Re: FS Modulators doing "Code-3"

Gah! That diaphone recording has got to be hell on those drivers. Guess we'll see in a few years time. :)
