Hey everybody, I hope you all are doing well! It is time to post the details for next years SirenCon. For those who missed last years sticky post, SirenCon is the premier meetup for siren enthusiasts across the country. Hosted one weekend a year at beautiful Camp Tesomas it is one event you will not want to miss! The 2021 meetup was the largest siren enthusiast event held to date yet, and 2022 is looking to be bigger yet! I have a few details I would like to share with you, along with the 2021 BTS.
What: SirenCon 2022. A weekend where you can come, bring a single/three phase siren to run if you have one, and/or just hang out!
When: June 4th and 5th, 2022
Where: Tesomas Scout Camp - 5403 Spider Lake Road - Rhinelander, WI
Cost: The event is FREE. There is no charge to attend SirenCon! You will be given a web link to purchase a T-Shirt if you would like. There is a minimal lodging fee for cabin rentals, RV space, or a private group campsite. Donations directly to the camp for lodging, or to the SirenCon food fund are accepted - however these are NOT required!!
Food: We will have a good old fashioned cookout Saturday night, and doughnuts/OJ on Sunday morning. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own water/soda and snacks as these will not be provided.
Lodging: Lodging will be provided for those who seek it. There is a minimal fee associated with cabin rentals, RV parking, or private campsites. The camp has shower/bathroom houses located at two points that we can use. Each campsite is equipped with a toilet stall and covered shelter. If you wish to attend both days, but wish to have more comfortable accommodations there are hotels located in Rhinelander, a 10 minute drive from Tesomas.
RSVP: There will be a link for RSPV's posted in this thread no later than 01/01/2022. YOU MUST RSPV BY MAY 20TH, 2022!
Sirens: We will have a 1/3 phase generator to use during the siren sounding. For the event to run smoothly, please ensure all your control wiring is done prior to the event. Please note which wire is L1, L2, L3 for three phase 240V sirens, and L1, L2, and N for single phase sirens.
