The Siren Board

Does anyone know if Kingsport's sirens are still active? They have two roof-mounted P-50s and a WPS-2x06. They also have two Quadrens. There is a video of 1 of the P-50s here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpF088pGgKU It hasn't rotated for a while. think the ACA sirens are plant owned. If anyone has any knowledge that would be great

a few people have attempted to record them in recent years, and all attempts have failed. I believe the 2906 is still active, but i'm not sure if/when it tests.

Hmm... the higher mounted P-50 seems to have rotated within the past couple of years. The 2906 i think is owned by the county

That Whelen is tested every Saturday at noon. I heard it when I tried to record the P-50 in 2019. The P-50s are not active from what I was told.
