That "horn" is actually an Automatic Power Model FA-232 electronic signal which operates at 400 Hz. The Coast Guard should have left the real air horn fog signal in place.
I have heard this horn nearly every summer for 47 years - but never in January. Enjoy even if you have never heard it live. Then plan a trip to Owls Head - once you go to Maine you will always want to go back. Lunch at the Owls Head General Store is also a must. Can't miss it as you pass that way to get out to the lighthouse
Sounds like a **car** horn rather than a fog-horn! To me, a fog-horn is a super-low-bass "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" . Think about the pitch that that old guy sang "Wandering Star" at many years ago - **that's** what I'm getting at.

The old horn is still at Portland Head!

This foghorn sounds like grilled cheese to me, and tastes like tomatoes!
How does the fog know when to turn on and off
It is done manuly
@@yeaman4538 ok by the controll center
@@dashcamdude6690 if the light is manned then the keepers will do it, but if the light is automated then a fog detector will start the foghorn.
