H.O.R. Super Sirex No. 15 | Full Alert | Hamilton, OH | 8/7/19

Timestamps:
0:10 - First String, Thunderbolt Ambience
1:28 - Second String, Sirex Activation

Today was the big Hamilton meetup! I have always wanted to hear an HOR Super Sirex (technically this one is a Sirex No.15), so after moving to SW Ohio and being within 45 minutes of one I wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to go see it. This is a 7/10 port siren; very unique to hear in person.

Not a whole lot else to say, except I had a ton of fun. Met up with Bruin (StormWarning04), Aiden (Sirens of SW Ohio), Jonathan (Tri-State Sirens), and sorta with Jeremy and Dominic (SuperSirex127).

The siren was pretty loud, and while the rotation doesn't do a whole lot up close, it does seem to help somewhat project the sound once you're much further away.

In the beginning, you can hear an ambience of Hamilton's Thunderbolts (which go off on the first round of tones). At first, we had thought this siren failed as I didn't know Butler County did two separate sets of tones, and apparently this one goes off on the second set. You can also hear FSK polling all the sirens in the county during and after the test (except the few older sirens elsewhere in the county that use the DTMF). All in all, this was a great test, and it was an awesome experience. Enjoy!

Yes, I did chop most of the chopper wind down out of the video to save space (and make this video 6 and a half minutes long instead of 8 and a half minutes).

Sirens in Butler County are tested on the First Wednesday of each month at noon, weather-permitting.
