Update #1: The New ASC T-128 has been installed not far from this location. This siren is now either a backup siren or its inactive. Update #2: This siren went off at some point because it is now facing the complete opposite direction it was facing before! So I can officially say that this siren is either a backup siren or its active!
ya should check out dows iowa some day they have an 8/16 sterling that from what i heard does noon blasts. also it was my first ever electro-mechanical siren to hear in person
@@xXSo1arGamingXxI'm honestly not 100% sure if it's 8/16 since the only video of it was directly facing the 16 port side and when I heard it myself I to was directly facing the 16 port side so a side shot would be required but this one has a cover over it completely hiding the sterling so a second angle would definitely be required. Also if you do record it, it would be nice to have a definite answer to Wether it 8/16 or 16/16 since no one I've talked to even knew that there was a sterling there and only guessed based on the only video that currently exists for it.
@@xXSo1arGamingXx I figured but doesn't hurt to have a lil doubt anyway it was one heck of an introduction to mechanical sirens cuz up till that point i only heard the DAEC whelen wps 4004s in person.
It has the potential to but this is no longer a fire siren so they don't bother to set it off in Hi-Lo anymore. They might be able to set it off in Hi-Lo if I asked them to since they got the RCM Controls for it.

I actually might just do that. Thanks for the suggestion! Also if I do go I'll say that you requested me to go there.

@@bodes_26 this may be weird but I've never heard a whelen in person
definelty needs new bearings and it seems like it hasnt been run in along while.. hence all that dust
I agree with you! This siren hasn't ran for more than 2 months. And they also do a 5 to 10 second blast for the monthly test
Wow you got 50 subscribers keep up the good work and when you get to 100 subscribers do a Whelen Vortex
Thank You for the Support! I will keep that siren request in mind but i'm being bombarded by school so I can't really go to many sirens right now.
You just witnessed the death of a thunderbolt my friend
Iowan Siren Recordings How do you know it’s dead for sure?
The faster than normal windown
The smoke coming out the horn at the end
I'll be going back here in September to confirm that its dead for sure. I'll also ask if they can set it off for like a minute or so.
@@xXSo1arGamingXx did you come back?
@@kansasstatealerting717 Yes, but they didn't test it.
Nice video! I hope they fix this thing.
Thanks! Ill be coming back here to see if it works or not
Lotta rust that got dumped outta the horn lol
Those bearings tho
Nope, this a death
Yeah not sounding to well...
I think that was smoke.
Does it actually do hi lo
It has the potential to but this is no longer a fire siren so they don't bother to set it off in Hi-Lo anymore. They might be able to set it off in Hi-Lo if I asked them to since they got the RCM Controls for it.
That was a growl and alot of dust lol.
