The count never got above 42 CPM in the entire drive down from the Blue Ridge Mountains into Atlanta, down I-985, to I-85/I-75 straight into downtown Atlanta. Got off at the Georgia Tech Varsity exit, pulled onto the top level parking garage and got out and never had a background radiation reading above 25. The Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center staff have some explaining to do. The bottom line, www.netc.com is not a reliable source for background radiation, and obviously have another motive for their bogus reporting. See pictures at: [link to www.extrapounds.com] On that site, the high was on Sunday though, and was back to normal Monday... Maybe you were too late? |

[link to www.netc.com (secure)] They're adding about $100 on top of the standard retail price for these radiation detectors. |

Only major population areas are show high background radiation. Example: Atlanta is showing 288 CPM and Tucker, GA just a few miles east of Atlanta is reporting 18 CPM. It's false advertising the sell over-priced detectors. |

Don't believe anything on their site, it's all BS. The Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center is a fraud. The Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center is a hoax website to sell overpriced radiation detectors. Their site consistently reports up to 10 times actual background radiation. The Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center have no credibility. The redundancy is for search engine indexing to help expose these thieves and the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center hoax. |

Yes, their Sales are highly Overpriced but you forget to bring the Measurements in to a Context, every Geiger Counter is different and some Stations use a Spectrograph while other use just a plain Geiger Mueller Tube! |

Perhaps looking into each station to see if their CPM counters are detecting BETA Particles or CPM of Gamma in energy range 600-800keV. There will be a big difference in the numbers. Is it that difficult? |

See pictures at: [link to www.extrapounds.com] Sorry to burst your bubble, but the "Brand new GMC-300E Geiger Counter" which you tout, only registers Beta and Gamma Radiation. It is entirely possible the emissions being reported on NETC.com include Alpha radiation, which your detector cannot pick up. Seeing as you went "on the cheap" for your Geiger Counter, I really don't think you're in any position to declare that NETC or anyone else is "not credible." |

Unless physical debris is falling from the sky, that is absolutely irrelevant. Alpha particles can only travel a few inches in air. |
