Bad Placement

Mon Jun 20, 2016 1:40 am

I'm little confused to say the least regarding the location of siren C10 on the map below. Why...well because according to its location it would be located in the middle of a field, less than a mile from the nearst siren. The Midland County EM Dept's map identities a siren in that location so their must be something there.

My question, why is the location needed and of all places why in the middle of the field near other sirens in a rural area? Was American Signal like "for fun lets place another siren in the middle of a field". :P

Key
Light Blue - RM-130
Dark Blue - T-128
Grey - Unknown Siren

Well, considering that C10 looks like an RM-130 on satellite, and the others around it are all T-128s, I'd hazard a guess and say that "funsies" was not really the reason. I assume the RMs went in first, so perhaps they only found a suitable ROW location when the Tempests were added. Though that doesn't explain why they didn't just move the RM to where C06 is...

Nice theory, but the there is a flaw. The city's siren, all of which minus one are RM-130s and seem to be the original sirens. The T-128s were added later on. Why there would siren there to begin with is my question. Although I'm 99% sure it's a T-128 because of the patters I've seen within the systems design and layout. In satellite view both siren types look similar though, I've made that mistake several times.

When I mapped out Midland's system I thought the exact same thing about the rather odd placement. I can't figure out what C03 is either.

Could C10 be broken with C6 its replacement? I don't know what I'm looking for to compare multiple satellite views to see if its in the same position across multiple images.
