I've made some more slight edits to this post since I was able to get some things clarified today. Firstly, all the mods installed from 2016 to now are known to be modulator IIs, so I have corrected that.

I've also added some of the photos I got of the sirens today, so there is some more visuals.

As promised, I have visited McConnell Springs park, and also Picadome Park and got some photos of the new modulators there. These are both of the B or Modulator II variety.

Hello again, I have once again visited Madison County Kentucky, but mostly the Richmond area. This time I brought my good camera along so I have some better quality photos compared to my phone.

I'd like to thank Doreen Birkholz from the Fayette County Emergency Management for finding me some good info. The spreadsheet for the install da...

I tried giving it a challenge.
Surprisingly, it doesn't look much different than a real whelen on top a hill.

Apparently back in 2015, the mod at Tates Creek Aquatic Center was leaning quite a bit.

If you look at the current streetview, it has been corrected.

Hey there, I have a simple question. What types of channels/frequency types are siren activation tones usually transmitted on? Currently, my best guess that I've tried to use is fire dispatch, or a dedicated activation frequency if it's listed on places like RadioReference. However, I've had specula...

Hello there! Today, I was in Winchester, the town inside Clark County Kentucky. They test their sirens every Wednesday at noon. Their system comprises of Whelen Vortex R4 "Finbacks". These are one of the few counties left in Kentucky to use these sirens. I tried filming one of their sirens...
