Hamilton County June 1st, 2011 Outdoor Warning Siren; Test Calhoun Hall Thunderbolt 1000T

[darklotusryder]

This thing is a 4/5 port!

[KSE828]

Wow that's one of the most weather beaten 1000T's i've ever seen!

[KetchupAndMustard55]

don't know about I-forces, but Omaha has T-128s

[Videogamer52100]

Does the t-bolt on top of the Hamilton fire station still work? I passed it when I was going to IKEA

[nickrusche]

@Videogamer52100 I'm assuming it still does. I will find out for sure though for you.

[kentfirealarms]

Don't any of you guys now that American Signal I- Forces are ATIs!!!!!!!

[AKSoapy29]

How can I get one of the ones there taking down?

[nickrusche]

@AKSoapy29 I don't know what they are going to do with them. They might just be scraping them. I will ask this question on the Cincinnati Area Metropolitan forum on the siren board and let you know what I hear.

[nickrusche]

@AKSoapy29 Sorry to be getting back late! It looks like that most of them are going to be refurbished and sold to some surrounding counties around Hamilton County.

Great low-pitched 1000T! and for a change, it doesnt sound like the timer is screwed up on the Attack cycle.

[mohkfry]

Awesome video!

[dualactionsurgilator]

Great video. This siren sounds like the 4/5's in Minneapolis, it's an epic sound. Looks like the old boy's seen it's better days though.

[bohrokthunder]

oh cool

[carexpertandy]

Awesome Nick!!! Youre good with getting 4/5 ports on Level 4 lol

[amtrak3501]

nice to have another 4/5 port thunderbolt from Hamilton county on YT. thanks for the awesome video :) at around 6:40, guess someone didnt like you filming the siren when they honked at you, oh well

[nickrusche]

@amtrak3501 I think somebody was going to cut them off. No cops came, so that's fine with me. I was going to film it from one of the parking lots, but a guy came up to the car and said that I had to pay $5 to park. So I just parked on the street and put some money in a meter. Some students did walk past me and said nothing.

[amtrak3501]

@nickrusche oh thats cool. i had a guy in Defiance walk up to me and started babbling about what i was doing! the siren hadnt activated yet, but i kindly asked him to be quiet since i was filming. 1st time thats ever happened to me, plus the guy reeked of alcohol, lol

[murrfarms]

Very nice Nick! The attack timing on this one is spot on, and that lower pitch sounds epically spooky. I guess this also settles whether this siren is a 1000 or a 1000T lol.

[nickrusche]

@murrfarms Thanks! Many of the Thunderbolts in Hamilton County are not set right for the Attack Cycle. The Greenhills Thunderbolt I recorded a few Months ago (March I believe) is also set correctly.

[murrfarms]

@nickrusche Yeah you're right, I loved how that one did the attack signal as well. Seems only a good handful of the ones in Hamilton County operate 100% correctly, be it the cycle/delay timing, or just the way they function in general (rotator, for example).

[nickrusche]

@thefandude21 Thanks!
