Re: San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) former mystery/custom engineered siren FOUND!!!!

Any update on Dana Point's new system?

I thought it was made by the Pearse Co. out of Denver. Is that the same thing?
Oh yeah, your right.
I thought it was Pearse Colorado, but like you said it is in fact Pearse Company.
Oh wait, maybe it is supposed to mean Pearse Colorado. If that is a real town. My bad

Re: Whelen Controller Questions

Brief Whelen Controller history... The Whelen "Electronic Siren Controller", or ESC, started production with the introduction of their first Outdoor Warning Sirens in the '70s, the WS-1000 series. The controller shipped with these was analog, which means they featured older, adjustable co...

Re: Whelen Controller Questions

If I'm watching a Whelen siren video, the easiest way to tell an analog is the windup. They have an exponential windup, and start very sudden. Also, analog Whelen wail usually sounds more like a traditional attack, winding up to a high tone for a few seconds then winding down, as opposed to today's ...

Re: ACA Hurricane Location Near Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (possibly) Found

I'd say it might have been the same pole, but the 2001 pole seems taller. Cool find! Shame the Hurricanes aren't still here. With Darien gone, now there's only 1 working Hurricane in a real system... And the Milwaukee Hurricane is on its way out as well, will probably come to the same fate as Darie...
