A few Curry County, Oregon ex SONGS STL-10s found
Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2020 2:04 am
I've known for a few years now that a handful of STL-10s from original SONGS system were sold to Curry County, Oregon in 2006 after SONGS replaced them and the Model 120s with the Whelen 2810s and 2806s in December 2005 - January/February 2006, but we never knew any locations of them until now. I found a Tsunami evacuation map for Curry County, and it showed some siren locations, and I was able to find 3 STL-10s that were apart of the original SONGS system. I'm sure there is more then just 3, but I haven't found any other STLs since I only found two evacuation maps. Another thing I found is a YouTube video talking about the sirens, and at one point shows inside of ones cabinet and the control arrangement, and cabinet is a dead give away that these were SONGS sirens, just a side note, the Model 120s had the same controls and cabinet enclosure as the STL-10s.
Here's a Youtube video talking about the system, unfortunately, the system was deactivated in August of 2019 because the county wanted to go with phone alerts, and making the bs excuses about the maintenance like lots of other cities pull. Cabinet is shown at 0:52, and it seems they received new FC radios when installed, and some other box removed in the top right corner of the cabniet, I know this because I have the blueprints even for the cabinets, and controls inside for both the 120 and STL's, and the radios were replaced at some point. Anyways, here's the video:

And here is street views of 3 different locations. Using Bing maps since google maps doesn't go down the streets there on.

Don't know where the cabinet is on this one.
