"Tootie" our 2t22A works!
She sung for the first time in twenty years!
She was abandoned on a 45 ft tall class 2 utility pole in former Lowry Air Force Base, on the east border of Denver.
The base was decommissioned in the mid 1980s.
The pole-mounted controller was apparently scrapped. Tootie remains only because no one could reach her.
The siren is now temporarily mounted on a mobile home stairway platform (landing) in the mobile home park sewage treatment plant where they have 240 V three-phase power. (Our next obstacle is getting the power from the sewage treatment plant to our fire station. I am considering assembling a 179 foot "extension cord" of 3 #6 AWG aluminum wires to bring power to the station!)
For now, we must manually sound the siren by pressing an unused motor switch button in the sewage plant electrical cabinet until I can make a controller.
What is the best signal? How long is the siren sounded for a tornado warning?
We hope to mount the siren on the fire station roof.
Or, Robert Miller the tree killer, my boss at High Climbers Tree Service, may cut Tootie's pole at the ground and we may plant the 45 foot pole next to our fire station.
It would then be 38.5 feet AGL.
Thank you,
