Low mounted Sirens in US

[kb4mdz]

In da 'Radio biz', it's referred to as HAAT; Height Above Average Terrain. (and that's pronounced as "hyt", not "hyt-th". The Pronunciation Policeman has spoken!)

Here is a low ATI HPSS16 in San Francisco.

Its on Top of a big hill though,if you turn around,a pretty ideal placing for it.

This one ain't much better; Middlesex, NC Vol. Fire Dept.; right at the back of the building.

You can also move around to the street to your left, and look along the back side of the building.

I think that's actually a GCS.

That one isn't really low. I've been by that station a couple times and its on a normal sized pole. Heck, the Fairview station SD10 in Cary is lower than that thing lol.

I like how both horns are pointed the same direction.

the 2001 replaced the 1003 which broke i was there photographing the fire trucks in late 09 and asked bout that. it cost too much to get the 1003 taken down so they left it up i was thru that area earlier this year and i think the blizzard of early 2010 helped to take the 1003 down. as it was laying on the ground

Nice catch Calvin! When I used Streetview throughout West Unity, I did not see that!
