I'm thinking it either failed or the siren is (or was?) activated over a different frequency. Big disappointment, but at least I got to Glastonbury before that.
Did you hear any other nearby sirens? Valley Shore communications can be very lazy when doing the daily test as they never did it the day I went to attempt record Chester's 2T22. If it's the same, you should have heard several DTMF bursts, and a lone 2 tone followed by "1200 hours WQF238" I'll send out a few emails. I'm glad "ol reliable" Glastonbury tested. You could have set up in Buckingham Park next door to Company 4 unless it was packed (usually during Soccer season, the FD shuts the siren off during games), but none the less still good video.
