Sirens that currently Alternate Wail for Test

Tue Nov 12, 2019 2:48 am

Hi All! To finish off my Siren recording adventure, I'd like to capture something I still have yet to hear in person: An alternate wail.

Anyone know of any sirens that currently test with an alternate wail? I've found a few on Youtube but all the one's I've come across seem to have been replaced or no longer test with an alternate wail. I'm located in the Midwest but willing to travel!

Cheers!

Apologies for the late reply on this, but thanks so much for the info! I see a trip to New Glarus in my future. Sirens and Spotted Cow :D

Cheers!

wood county ohio did alt wail & alt steady up until the late 1980s/very early 1990s

before siren tests were moved from 1st friday of month to 1st saturday of month (around 1989) (still @10AM)

their tests were about 9-15 min long

Saint Paul, Nebraska has a Thunderbolt 1003 that does Alternate Wail as a fire signal and is tested every month.

That Thunderbolt was replaced in 2015 for "Repairs" and was replaced with a reverse wired white 1000T.
