The Siren Board

Was preventive maintenance done on the Galbraith & Winton T-128 today? It was pointed southwest for after the last test, and now pointed northwest. Anything interesting to report for it?

Today’s test only lasted for one minute... did the EMA decide to cut back on the testing time?

Are you sure? I heard several T-128s around my school that went on for three minutes. On another note, the Thunderbolt on top of the fire station on Beechmont in Anderson seems to have something wrong with it. This is the third month in a row that it has not rotated. I have no idea if its just the rotator the whole siren, as I haven't had a chance to see it during a test.

Kenton County tested a whopping 15 minutes late. Definitely out of the ordinary for them. Got a decent ambience recording.

As for Hamilton County, my mother said the test was quite short.

The sirens around UC only went off for a minute. I wonder if it’s like the 2nd Wednesday of August test, where they were all meant to sound for 30 seconds, and some went for 3 minutes.

Middletown's test sounded awesome, their 2001s test in attack

New T-128 finally in Greenhills. But it looks to me like it may only be a new siren head with the same controls and the split top part of the pole chopped off.

Got some pictures of it today. So now, we have a T-128 with the boring new ASC logo.

Still the same controls as the first one.

Sorry for a third consecutive post... but check out this awesome surprise I just posted in the media forum!
