Limon, CO has a Model 5 that is not on the Limon, CO sirens map. It is here: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2687684 ... 56!6m1!1e1
Great find! I was wondering what Limons 5th siren was. Might have to go take a look next time im in the area.

Perfect! I just noticed Rheems1 logged on. Here's a puzzler for him in Harrisburg. At Italian Lake, there's an SD-10 in the middle of the park, not near any fire departments and not part of the TMI system (https://goo.gl/KB8wS2). Do you have any clue what it might be used for? And also, for PeachTreeSirens, can you add it to the PA map when you get the chance?

LOL, for the longest time I had a different version of No but Meaghon Trainer is much better to look at. That siren at Italian Lake is actually part of the old Harrisburg City Civil Defense System, there used to be quite a few of those SD-10's around the city. That one at Italian Lake is the only SD-10 that I have been able to find left in the city, there is also a 2T22 on one of the buildings at the Capitol. You can barely see it in this Google Streetview image, look really, really closely

I spotted the 2T22 on the way home from Penbrook's Modulator. I presume both are inactive?

The SD-10 is very much inactive, the guts have been ripped from the power box.. the 2T22 is probably still "active" though probably not the active you are looking for. The 2T22 and the rest of the CD sirens were activated from inside the Capitol and were all landline based so they don't go off with the Dauphin County system when they test, as far as I know though the 2T22 would still sound if the correct hole were dialed in the rotary phone activation module

The Whelen 2760 in Dubois, PA appears to have been replaced by a Modulator. https://goo.gl/M5dKKF
Also, For the Quebec map (if you're still keeping it active), the mystery speaker array is a DSA2. https://goo.gl/9SqxW3

The 2760 is still there. The white top on the siren makes it look like a Modulator, but if you zoom all the way in you can see the black parts of the array.

I should really request access to update the Pa Siren Map, either way here is one that hardly anyone knows about... in Slatington they have a Model 5 at their firehouse (which is noted on the map) but it has not been active for a number of years. The borough decided to replace it since it had coverage issues, they found a good spot that was above the whole town and mounted a new siren (at the time) to be heard across the whole area. So I present the new siren that is hidden away in the borough of Slatington:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Slati ... 75.6062105

Great mounting location, there isn't a single place in town you can't hear it... the problem is that it is mounted at such a perfect spot that 20 times a year the neighboring Slatedale Fire Department (about 5 miles away) asks Lehigh County if they have a call. It carries that well that in Slatedale it gets mistaken for the STH-10 that is at the firehouse...from 5 miles away!
