Man I haven't dove into this in years. Anyway, from what I gathered in newspaper articles way back in 2019, Marion had about six 408s in their system. I did manage to find the rough locations of them all, but any evidence of their existence is basically gone. One of my good friends managed to find this newspaper article from 1984, talking about the first activation of them. Marion much like a lot of other places that had SiraTones faced countless radio related failures.

If you want to see the locations, you can find them in my map of all EOWS sirens to ever exist:

My knowledge excels on the Federal Thunderbolt siren and SiraTone EOWS sirens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've been to all 408s in Herrin, and now I started a whole topic on the 812 in Omro, WI and now that's blowing up
