Here’s an older 2001 video I did a few years ago. It’s your typical full cycle alert test, so nothing special. But this was before some radio upgrades were made to the system. There was no FSK polling and the Model 7 was still running off a legacy telephone relay. The most obvious problem is that it skipped the first set of tones, but luckily activated on round 2 and left a nice ambience. This is probably one of the last times it ran the attack signal via land line.
You can find this siren at the end of N Geiger Street. It’s easy to spot off 231 and is the first 2001 siren I’ve ever heard up close. When I was looking at some old articles, the intention was the city was going to replace it with a "voice-capable" unit and move this siren head elsewhere. But they ended up just getting a new -130 and sticking it in the more industrial part of town.
With the exclusion of Jasper, sirens in Dubois County are tested every first day of the month at 6pm for a full cycle. Tests may get canceled or postponed if severe weather is expected or occurring.
