The Siren Board

I thought they tested in alternate wail.

The one Bill went to record is a newer install with UV controls. The two on the riverfront usually do alternate wail. I have a video on my channel. Perhaps the county as a whole didn't test?

I was at the one on SR 8 next to I-471, so they probably didn't even test, as I couldn't hear anything else from the Kentucky side of the river.

I swear, for the second time now, I've been hearing a siren of some type going off for about a minute somewhere southeast of Finneytown. I think the last time, as well as tonight, I wondered if maybe it was from St. Xavier High School scoring a touchdown, but I doubt it. It was hard to tell what it sounded like, but I kind of wonder if maybe it was the STH-10 in Arlington Heights, but they use Reading for their fire department these days. Any thoughts on this?

I just passed the Hamilton HOR super sirex, and it looks like they might be removing that piece of history. However, I could be wrong. It looks like it's rotated since the last time it tested.

They shouldnt be removing it, they never mentioned it. And yes me and 4 other siren enthusiasts filmed it in August

I can confirm it isn't Arlington Heights. 4J25 and I have confirmed the STH-10 to be inactive. About 2 years ago we talked to someone at the building it's on

Had to re-register as my previous user name 'Cw212010' wont work!

Anyway, I will shortly be acquiring a Thunderbolt. I won't state sources at the moment however I intend on refurbishing it and donating it to either a museum or a fire department/local town who can benefit from it.

I'm in Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati and I would appreciate any one's help for the rewiring, mechanics, painting and advice. I will be choosing one next week so pictures to follow.

I'm not really all that mechanically experienced, but I would love to see it and maybe learn a thing or two about how they work. Congrats on obtaining it!
