I dug mine out after the rain the other day and I got a few counts but since I didn't establish a baseline a month ago, I am not sure this is worse that the normal background. It also has not been recalibrated since the Kennedy administration so I doubt any reading this low is really significant anyway. If I was in Tokyo this might be useful but we are talking about minute changes here. Is it an old yellow Civil Defense model? |
