Whelen Engineering WPS-2904 | Tone and Voice Test | Richmond, Madison County, KY

[4J25]

Eastern Kentucky University posted on their Twitter that they would be performing their own test of their sirens after the Madison County test. The county in itself has 90 sirens, and the university has 4. All Whelen 2900's. The Madison County test consists of Westminster Chimes and a test voice message. The EKU "bonus" test consisted of some rather weak live PA, followed by two alerts and voice messages, followed by a better live PA. I talked to the campus emergency manager after the test, and it turns out it was their first time trying live PA, and they didn't realize how close you had to be to the microphone. Anyways, it was a pretty cool test! Sorry for the shakiness, my camera was zoomed in very close and the least bit of wind caused it to move slightly. Enjoy!
