Nice pics 4j25. I can see a few finback 4004's on there. I have seen one in West Branch, Michigan at the fire department. A picture and Google Maps link can be found below.

Cool picture! Not to be picky, but I'd rather keep other pictures off of this thread. Sorry!

[Reedsiren1]

That's fine.

I didn't know Mods were built that small.

[4J25]

Yep, not that loud though. Only about as loud as a Model 2.

[4J25]

Just a question, does anyone know the address of the Gulf Power Plant that has a Sentry that replaced a Defender?

[4J25]

Well, as of right now, me and my dad are sitting in front of an ATI HPSS-16 at Tyndall AFB. Hopefully it goes off!

[4J25]

We went out to record the ATI at Tyndall AFB, and it was a success! (Video should be up soon in the Audio/Video Forum)

Here are the picture results of today:

Naval Surface Wartime Center, Upper Grand Lagoon, FL
This is a small naval base in Upper Grand Lagoon that consists of two Modulator MOD-1004s.

Modulator MOD-1004
Here's yet another MOD-1004 on this trip. The picture of this one and the following one aren't the best, but they were inside of a naval base:

Fort Tyndall AFB, Panama City, FL
Fort Tyndall is made up of ATIs, all one level, and all either four or two speakers. (HPSS-16s or HPSS-8s) Note that all of them are on rock poles. Interesting.

ATI HPSS-16
The first I've ever seen! This one has a HUGE bird's nest in it. As a side note, are those normal controls for an ATI?

Very decorative poles, like those a lot. Nice pics!

Alright, here is the finale from the Florida Trip! All of these pictures are from the ride home.

Brantley, AL
One of three small towns we stopped in through Crenshaw County. They are also supposed to have a finback Whelen Vortex R4 at the High School, but as we drove past it all that remained was the mounting bracket.

This siren is located behind the Library/Municipal Building in Brantley:
