[Hacksaw]

I just stumbled on this trove of siren & horn pics & recordings:

There's some real oddball ones included.

Yeah, those are some sweet recordings. Those are probably my favorite bunch of recordings.

And some fakes.

And some fakes.

Some fakes you say?? Please enlighten me to which recordings are fakes.... on the old board Rob got trashed for having fakes... I issued a challenge for someone to come forward with a fake recording... nothing.. no one came forward. Sooo, maybe you should get your story straight before you comment on things.

[SirenMadness]

No, Rob did not get trashed for fake recordings, which were real, but for cheating at the Siren Contest of 2004- he wanted everyone to vote for him, through private messaging.

[Rheems1]

Well, he got trashed for that as well.... but there were recordings that people claimed he stole and crap like that. Someone used the Pottsville siren clip, said that he had on his site as something else. I looked the day that was posted, there is no where on there that he has that recording.. labeled correctly or wrong. They claim his pictures are photoshop edits, well that I have looked into as well. I will tell you that the only one I haven't be able to confirm is the dual Model 5's at Eastport, other than that.. his pics are real as can be.

I listened to some recordings today, and listening to the acoustics, they are not fake.

There were a number of topics brought up on the old forum regarding the legibility of the LIFA media. See them here:

and

There is still plenty of legitimate media on that site, so it's still worth a look.

Listening to the one with all of Farmingdale's audibles, you can tell it's a fake. The sound is so tinny! It can't be real!

And listen to the Williston Park recording:

And then compare it to the in between the Model 5 and 5T recording on Ben's site:
