Any sirens in Illinois not tested just on the first Tuesday of the month?

I've been noticing that the majority of the sirens in Illinois are tested on the first Tuesday of the month at 10 AM. Are there any systems tested weekly or not tested on Tuesdays? I'm mainly looking the suburbs of Chicago.

I wouldn't know, but it seems as if the State of Illinois requires all systems be tested on the first Tuesday at 10 a.m.

Does that also include the MOD II's scattered around O'Hare airport? I consider O'Hare to be in Rosemont

O'Hare is both owned/operated by Chicago and within their boundaries, so no.

We (Marseilles F.D.) test our Model 7 every Monday at 6 pm. We're 75 mi southwest of Chicago, not really a suburb but the TV news stations have referred to us as "far southwest suburban" recently

Arent there some towns that test at 10:30? I heard Tinley Park is like that and a few others. What other towns in the Chicago test the first Tuesday at 10:30 besides Tinley Park just so I can save a drive?
