Oh, I meant they had to be beta's or alpha's as the aluminum would not even be there for the gamma's.
I took my geiger to the local dorkbot gathering. Turns out one of the guys there brought his little geiger. Pretty small sensor, less than 1/2" in diameter and maybe 1 1/2" long with a mica end window. I couldnt tell if it was reacting to the T tubes or not. He seemed to think so but I couldnt tell from background. All his had was a clicker and a led that lit up. Not too surprising. Thats a considerably smaller volume than mine. I have a couple more probes I bought from Richard Hull and a piece of U ore coming from him. They are the same model so I will take a pic of the tube if you are interested.
Just giving you a hard time on the scope. We are forecasted rain for the near future. I hope this summer dosnt turn out like last. Last year was very cool and wet. Thats no fun.
