This is from the tornado outbreak that hit several states on April 2nd. They kept activating the siren as the tornado headed right for town. The stream actually cut off before it hit, but you could still tell it moved through (no damage thankfully).

I was wondering about that as well. When I went to go record a T-128, there was nothing on that frequency and the siren went off without me knowing. I prefer to hear activation tones before a siren goes off...

I've finally returned to Madison county to film their new sirens. I haven't been able to find time to film one until today. Included is a little clip of when I look around a Whelen WPS-2906 that I filmed back in May of 2023, now sitting on the ground. More photos of the dormant 2906 are included in ...

I've returned to Madison county again for their monthly siren test. To my surprise (but also expected), all of the Whelens are gone. I guess over the winter season they decided to get all the removals out of the way before storm season. However, I found something peculiar. On my way to where I was g...

My county's sirens are always spaced where you can hear them pretty well anywhere you are, since they're all about 1-2 miles apart from each other. I've heard varying tone quality of modulators many times during bad storms.

Here's some locations for Kentucky. They're mostly in Franklin county, or the Frankfort area.

For anyone still following this thread: I managed to remember to catch the test this month, albeit with it catching me off guard. https://youtu.be/vYcC0IuJ-Ts?si=-1Yo1H9JG1XiIdeK I will try to record the next test in January less-impromptu and with better production quality. Did they happen to test...

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

From what I can tell, yes. Eastern Kentucky University is the only system to use Claritys. However, they use a simple recording of a T-128 instead of the standard ASC electronic tones. (watch the video by 4j25 if you'd like to see it in action)

It's been about a month and I'd say there has been a little development from me that has happened since. Firstly, I've gotten contact with someone from the Madison County EMA who's been able to answer a few questions for me. The removal and replacement of the Whelens appears to be done by SWS, as I ...
