Palatka, Florida Mobil Directo

Sat Aug 29, 2020 6:13 pm

Is the Mobil Directo on a hose tower at the Palatka Fire Department/Police Department complex on St Johns Avenue and North 11th street still active? If it is, does it test, and when does it test if it tests?

I checked streetview and it’s not rotated since 2007.

It would be hard to imagine how it would sound with the top output horn missing.

It would probably direct the sound straight upwards. That would make it not as loud when you are recording it from below. (If it is even active)
Alright, maybe I'll post a few more times

I've seen a video of the siren growling before, but I can't find it. I will post the link when I find it.

Hello, fellow siren enthusiasts. I'm going to be back on the board from time to time but probably won't post much.

The siren is functional as there's a video of it somewhere online, but I doubt it's actually used for anything. The rotator is broken/intentionally disabled.
