Elkhart County Fairgrounds I-Force Siren Test - 4-1-2021

I originally was planning to be uploading a video of the Modulator in St Joseph County, but learned the hard way that it actually isn't even hooked up yet, despite being installed since 2017. I can't say I'm surprised, given what I know about SJC.
Anyway, so I decided to get my fix with the I-Forces instead. These run better for tests than the MOD4016 at Goshen College for sure. Unfortunately, it was rather windy on this particular day, so they were a bit more quiet, and the audio track got a bit messed up (sorry :/ I tried my best to quiet some of the louder wind noises), but ultimately I'm still happy with how it went.
On a not so windy day, these sirens actually travel decently. When I was recording the MOD4016 at Goshen College, I could hear these finishing up their test after the 2001s winded down. At over a mile away, I was pleasantly surprised.
Sirens in Elkhart County are tested every Thursday at 2pm.

There is a fairgrounds in LaPorte County and I caught a test of the fairgrounds I-Force, 2001 SRN, 2001 DC, And T-128!

I’m going to the I-Forces today by the race track at the fairgrounds because it might sound cooler that way because the main entrance to the fairgrounds because it don’t get much echo.

[@FrostTheFox_]

Cool, good luck! I’m not probably going to any sirens for another few weeks until my schedule opens up a bit.

[@northernindianaoutdoorwarn9698]

For some odd reason the I-Force’s failed today but the 2001s went off at least.

[@FrostTheFox_]

@@northernindianaoutdoorwarn9698 Hmm, that’s odd. I wonder if they perhaps had the ASC sirens disabled for some reason this week’s test.

[@northernindianaoutdoorwarn9698]

Are you going to any sirens this week

[@RinOtonashi]

Sounds similar to the EAS.

[@FrostTheFox_]

Huh, now that you mention it, there is a similar cadence 😁

Where is the modulator in Saint Joseph County Indiana

[@FrostTheFox_]

The modulator is nearby the Four Winds South Bend, at the Pokagon Band Indiana Office on Locust Rd. Based on what Noie was telling me, it seems like it should be getting programmed and connected to the system relatively soon, but who knows.

[@northernindianaoutdoorwarn9698]

I can’t even find the modulator in South Bend I tried to look for on the street view
