Re: Watertown 2001-130 Site 6

I'm surprised this 2001 is lower pitched than the 'average Joe' 2001s

I usually call the later 2001s 'average Joe'

Re: Italian STH-10

STH-10s may not B my fav siren; but better than a community NOT having a siren @ all

I bet that STH-10 is higher pitched?

Re: West Milgrove OH siren

The last time I heard the siren was back in summer 2014 during Wood County monthly test (1st Saturday @ 10AM)

but I came back before Covid lockdown (Dec 2019) & it was gone

3T22 'crashing dinner plate sound' during wind-up

why did the 3T22 make the "crashing plate" sound in the beginning? Is that normal or did the 3T22s need repair?

The "crashing ceramic plates" sound can be heard on the sound clip

why is Helena OH w/o siren

Yrs ago the town of Helena OH had a ACA Screamer? & Federal A? by the fire dept

Why did they both get removed if there hasn't been a replacement?

Will Helena get a new siren or will the town continue to not have any siren?

xT22 in Tiffin Ohio?

Yrs ago on the news (during the November 2002 tornado outbreak in NW Ohio) I heard a xT22 sounding (WTOL said the footage was from Tiffin)

Is that xT22 still there today or did it get replaced?
