yes yes yes!  i have an old geiger counter, from the 50s, in good shape, needs one or two points soldered -- will bring it in -- lets have a rad meetup!

Still tho.  Might be good to mention on their website.

The nodes for the Global Radiation Monitoring Network are enclosed, so they do mostly gamma.

The Geiger counters that Matt S and I have do both beta and gamma,  because the tube is very exposed.

Geiger counters measure beta and gamma, typically. Alpha particles are hard to detect.

I think we already have one of these monitors, as I have seen it around CCL.  Funny how I can't find anywhere information about what kinds of radiation they are detecting.  I gather that it's just X-ray/Cosmic stuff and not alpha/beta particles, etc?

Awesome, I'm willing to help!

I have a Geiger counter from this kit http://mightyohm.com/blog/products/geiger-counter/ that we can use for educational / demonstration / artistic purposes as well!

I emailed the contact address on the website: radu.motisan@gmail.com

There's no obvious way to purchase a device or see how much one costs, so I asked.

Want to have our own networked radiation monitoring station? The Global Radiation Monitoring Network is looking to add nodes to their network.

They only have two dozen or so nodes around the world so far, and none in California. "In this early phase of the project, there is only a minimal, non-profit cost, to cover the hardware components used and the shipping."

The nodes are weatherproofed, and only need 5V power and an ethernet cable. Is this something that could potentially be piggy-backed on to the sudo mesh nodes as well? One of their node models has a barometric pressure sensor as well. Not sure to what extent this is an open source project, but we could find out.

They were just featured as one of the semifinalists for the Hackaday prize, so I expect they'll be getting an influx of new node requests...
