Title: Wondering About Radiation Levels?

Pretty cool website. If you have the money to buy the software and Geiger counter you can also submit data collected from the Geiger counter. At the moment they are out of stock. But, since watching the site I have seen several more come on-line.  The units are costly.

The surplus meters from civil defense years have doubled in price if you can find them. I did find a place that sells kits, pretty cool little gadget.

Something to at least give me an idea about the levels. Assembly is easy and can be completed in an hour. Maybe a great project for a student. Calibration could be an issue and there is no way to calibrate this device. But, if the thing starts chattering I will check the news or listen to the radio(s) to see what is going on.

Just wanted to pass along the find.

Enjoy

You are right, Mike.  I hope they are appreciated.  They have put themselves right out there for the safety of the community.
