Wisconsin Siren Testing

[ACAPenetrator50]

I am going up to Wisconsin in June, and I'm planning to record many sirens there. When do Medford, Tomahawk, and Wausau test their sirens? I will also record one of Kenosha's P-50s, and go up to Merrill to see the new T-128s if they're there.

If you make it out to Praire Du Sac, they test their sirens everyday at noon (except sunday). They have an Allertor, 10V2T, and a 10/15 Decot.

Wausau tests every Monday between April and November at 1:15 sharp (This would include June), and every first Monday between November and April at 1:15 sharp. Here is a list of locations for you too : http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8& ... 7bed4fcf6b Your best bet would to be to record one of rarer ones as they aren't going to be around much longer.

Prairie Du Sac does test on Sunday Sauk City does not Bill has said the both cities are about on exact time for noon going off which is very very rare they always want to be off by a couple of secs

Waukesha Test every Friday at 10.00am short Alert about 15 to 30 secs

Dane county first Wednesday of the Month in 3 minutes alert after 12,00 noon it can be anytime after noon up to 30 minutes but usually between 3 and 7 minutes this is done so that all the noon soundings are done. they do not test in Dec Jan & Feb.

I've personally never heard it go past 12:05, but otherwise yes. Also, Sun Prairie, WI is not on the Dane County system. Not sure when they test, but you'd only be missing 2001s.

Is the T-135 a P-50 or a T-135DC?

Is the T-135 a P-50 or a T-135DC?

It's an AC model. There is a new T-135(-132 ) in Madison along US 151 at the Nelson Crossing exit, visible from I-39/90/94.
