    Description: I orignally planned to record the new T-128 in downtown Gaffney, the 3T22 near Woodruff in Laurens County, and then the Inman Community Fire Department 16 port Sentry 5V. I didn't feel like going to the T-128, due to the fact that it is unspecified whether it activates at 9 or 10 AM, so I skipped that, and decided not to record the 3T22 in Woodruff because it would be a short test. I left fairly late, at about 11:20 AM, and the estimated time of arrival at the time was 1:00, so I decided to just drive to this 3T22 in Boiling Springs, as I would not make it to the Sentry 5V. TrainsAndSirens1 told me the T-128 did not activate, so it was good that I did not try to record it, because my camcorder has (had; I bought a 2 hour battery for it today) a 30 minute battery. The 3T22 activated at 1:01, so if I had tried to make it to the 5V, I would've missed it anyway. I assumed it was three phase, until it activated and sounded lower pitched than regular three phase XT22s.
