I don't remember where it was, but I do remember that someone had a picture of a square horned Hurricane on an old transmitter tower. The siren is decommissioned, I believe, and I think one of us emailed the company that owns the tower and they said that nobody can buy it or have it. I get the MK-I and MK-II confused.
Is this that picture...

I believe that's actually one of the Soundmaster sirens. Can someone verify?

Yes, ACA got in a lawsuit with them and they were put out of business. Soundmaster was started by ACA's lawyer I believe. There is more info on wikipedia's civil defense siren page.
