@sirenfan97 Yep, is a matter of fact I've recently seen a brand new one installed up in Calhoun, GA. They also still make the old belt-driven rotator specifically for these too, since it's cheaper to make those than use the gear-driven one for the Vortex, and also for the sake that this little tiny speaker doesn't need something that hefty to turn it.
@Oldiesmann Yep, that sounds about right too. I saw the one in Lilly (also in Dooly County) on the ground once during a pole replacement, and it kind of took me by surprise with its size; thought it would be a little smaller than it is. The height dimension is with the rotator though, but the speaker is around 2ft in diameter.
@MrSciencetificsasuke Yeah, this thing has a real nice, mellow tone to it. It'll really carry far too, could ever-so-faintly hear this little guy wind down when I was in Unadilla recording the Vortex last week, which is about 4.75mi to the north of here.
@MrSciencetificsasuke i like them because there cool looking, but its hard to find the diffrence between a 4004 and a vortex. unless theyre the same things
Does Whelen still make the Hornet?
