Decot Red Arrow Model 12 Siren, Noon Blast, Princeton, WI 12/30/2024

Happy New Years Eve! I'm skipping a bunch of backlog, but this is my last test of 2024. With the Monday before New Year's off of work, I decided to hit the road and record a noon blast. Having lived in Wisconsin all my life, I figured it was about damn time I record a Decot, so Princeton was the natural choice. This thing is one of the sharpest sounding omnidirectional sirens I've ever heard. I brought my new-ish drone (please forgive my lack of flying skills), and I thought it would be cool to get a shot of the Red Arrow alongside the T-121 just to the west.
2024 has been a great year for me in this hobby. I revived my channel, finally got out to SirenCon, met some familiar faces for the first time, made lots of awesome new friends, got new equipment and recorded more sirens in a year than I did probably my entire life before. I'm excited to make 2025 even better, there's lots more to come. I owe a big thank you to all of you that watch my crap. Enjoy!
