Hall County Siren #37 - Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1003A

[JKSK8ERLIVE]

@ 1:01 what was that "click" sound was that u switching it to hi lo or was it the solenoids activating?

[antiwhoknows]

@JKSK8ERLIVE It was just the solenoid. You can just hear the first one because after that the blower is running and the siren is louder than the solenoids.

[KSE828]

Sounds like there are "hiccups" in this video. ;-)

[Nelso90]

Best 1003 recording I've ever heard! That echo sounds nice!

[antiwhoknows]

@Nelso90 Thanks!

Back in the early 1970s after the Super Outbreak the local CD and the EM had a bunch of these Thunderbolts installed. Some of them look like they are in great condition but there are a few that look like they havent seen a coat of paint since they were installed in 1974!!!!

[97Siren]

it sounds like the Matteson Thunderbolt 1000T

Great video! Do they have any Federal Signal 2001's in Grand Island, or just Thunderbolt's? I live in Lincoln, Nebraska, and they replaced almost every Thunderbolt with a Federal Signal 2001.

[antiwhoknows]

There is quite a few 2001's, mostly from the early 1990's. There is one that was put up in 2007 and two put up this year, replacing Thunderbolts. \:

[TheFiremansavage]

what city might that be

[jsncrso]

Pleas tell me you plan on recording this siren again!

[antiwhoknows]

I can, but it can't be until November because I can only get to them myself on weekends with school. I think I'll save it for Nov. 15th because I want to stand under one when it tests and I can't do that with this one.

[antiwhoknows]

I do plan on going there Monday the 28th. The guy I know at the airport can set it off whenever he wants and said he would set it off for me. Then he said I could even go up into the tower because it's pretty much eye level with the projector horn. I might even get to set it off! =D

[HardDriveGuru]

Awesome!

[CoolBalla15]

Great sounding Thunderbolt 1003! I love the Hi-Lo Signal! :)

[Siren1000T1]

That sounds like chopper level 3 to me. Nice recording!

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Why did they do Alert first, then HI-LO?

[antiwhoknows]

Does it really matter which one is first? I think that it does alert with the other sirens first, then sirens that can do hi lo are tested right afterwards.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Not really. I just thought that is was going to JUST be Hi-lo.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Great video of that Thunderbolt 1003! Sounds great. :)

[DigitalEagleInc]

**Shivers** Oh man when it wound up in High*Low it's Scarry

[HystoricalMicrobe]

Sweet video. The thunderbolt sounds awesome.

[carexpertandy]

Great video! The pitch seems to keep dropping, so it may still have something wrong.

[antiwhoknows]

Yeah. It's just so hard to tell with so many buildings that it can echo off of. It would be better it it could be recorded from the other side of that brick building, but only airport personnel can get back there.

[russelD9]

did they fix the thunderbolt 1003? it sounds like its running much better now?

[antiwhoknows]

yes they did! =D

[antiwhoknows]

my last video of it, only the blower and rotator worked

[russelD9]

thats cool so do you think they fix all the sick thunderbolt sirens or is it just this one ?

[antiwhoknows]

the 1000T in Ryder Park needs fixed. I don't know if they will fix it or not. I have a video of it testing today that won't be up for a while because I'm busy with school work. It's the 3rd video I have of that 1000T. Mainly just to have proof that it's not working properly, so there will be more.
