The Calhan one is a custom job (dual-headed model 500) Simla I know has them, as their test dates are published in the local paper, however, I have yet to find their siren(s) ...

The aerial photos are not high enough resolution to reveal the sirens.

Calhan: 39.02' 07.19" N 104.18' 02.13" W In middle of Colorado ave block, south of 5th Street

They're pretty hidden. The one is Calhan is directly beside city hall, and Ramah's siren is yellow, and against brown grass is hard to impossible to see. I found a new Sentry siren in Hugo today, I doubt it will show though. Sirens are pretty common in eastern Colorado as it turns out.

Hey! Are these the "3-D" photos?

I think these are just good quality "birds-eye"

Well then, what do they mean by "3-D".
Whatever they are, I like them much better than straight down photos.
Saturday we drove through the Eisenhauer Tunnel en route to Vail Valley Medical Center. Could not take photos of their =>> sirens at each entrance because we were driving emergent both directions.

On the roof of this northeast Denver school, is this a Thunderbolt?

If you rotate the view, there's a FS 2001 right next to it. Must've replaced the SD10 recently

GOOD EYES, 10!
I hope the SD-10 is still there.
Was planning to see it on the way from a hospital meeting, but we.re called on a blood transport and went anotheroute.

Denver knows I am seeking a tornado siren so they hopefully have not scrapped it. They are keeping decommissioned sirens for parts.
