Welcome to the Alpha Beta Gamma Society.
This group is for amateurs interested in building, collecting, repairing, modifying, discussing, and learning about Geiger Counters and other Radiation measuring equipment. We often stray into Electronics, Radio, Astronomy, Optics, Microscopy, and many other aspects of measuring or exploring the Physical Universe.
