The Siren Board

Check out this nice video I found of what looks like some kind of Federal abortion sounding for a test in Cooleemee, NC. This video is made even better by the Diaphram horn blasting away for the cycle as well! A truely classic and awesome sound... the only thing bad was that he didn't photograph the horn(s) at all so we can't see what they are. What a great video though!!

I think it's "abomination". Anyways, weird siren, I'll have to check it out sometime.

The horn sounds nice and crisp! That siren is kina slow getting up to speed...

That thing looks like a Darley model with its original top louvre replaced.

What a video, too!

The Federal C-3? located atop Ypsilanti Twp. Station #3, sounds just like this siren. It has eight ports and is low pitched just like the Cooleemee siren, and even has a slow pickup. Sadly, both sirens sound really underpowered. However, in the case of the Ypsilanti Twp. siren, it can run off of either 120 or 240 single-phase AC, and they have it set to the former rating. I wonder if this is the same case with the Cooleemee siren?

Wow!
Question: 2 or 3 hats?

Cool sounding siren! It sounds like it has 12 ports though. It sounds like an underpowered STH-10. The horn blasts remind me of a horn you would hear at a basketball game, but the horn sounds cool.

Nope, in tribute to my good friend Steelman Hiles.... I used his word for an oddball siren.

I like the old 2+2 tones that activate it myself! 8)
