This was a bit of a spur of the moment type of recording, originally I was going to try a T-bolt in Murphysboro, but some neighboring communities were cancelling due to the holiday, so I figured I'd try the safe option and record a Modulator instead. Don't worry, I do have a Murphysboro recording I'm planning to release in the future. This Modulator is located in Summersville, which is a sort of "town" right next to Mount Vernon, Illinois. There's some houses, an airport, and a school. But that's about it. This replaced a EOWS 612 back in late 2018. Apparently they were sold to a neighboring county, but I haven't had the chance to check it out. As much as I love the 612s, these cover a lot better. Towards the end you can actually hear Mount Vernon's other 8032Bs, even the voice announcement. When they had the 612s, I could barely make them out in the background. Mt. Vernon, much like the rest of Illinois, tests on the first Tuesday of the month at 10am, unless severe weather is forecast. During severe thunderstorms, the wail tone is used for the full 3 minute cycle. During tornado warnings, alert is used and is sounded during the full duration of the warning.
