Modulators in South Africa

Tue Sep 23, 2014 8:01 am

Seen an article on RussiaToday about South Africa signing a deal for Nuclear Power Plants. It showed an Active Nuclear Powerplant near Melkbosstrand, Western Cape, North of Cape Town. It has a couple of Mods in the picture. Found one on streetview, thought I would share with everyone. Interesting to see FS in Africa.

3 modulators in that short distance? Talk about a waste of money.

Its also a huge overkill.
My knowledge excels on the Federal Thunderbolt siren and SiraTone EOWS sirens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is indeed. I have a map of portions of the system that further illustrates the overlap. There was a video on YT that had a huge amount of nearby wail signals and voice messages overlapping each other, but I can't seem to find it.

That kind of reminds me of The University of Toledo, which owns about 9 Modulators and a DSA compacted together on its 3 campuses, plus each campus has a Lucas County owned siren on or next to the campus.

Here's a map showing each campus and each siren it has.

All it is is a map.

My guess is that they were trying to make them audible indoors.

Are the controllers they run on MCs? The boxes look like the FCs that run the 2001-SRN/Bs I've recorded.
