I found a unique application of the Radio - SkyPipe strip charting program that some of you might find useful. Basically the program will chart any audio feed...
P.S. I noted that the attachment (not-text portion of ...) was deleted. Anyone wanting this attachment send me an e-mail and I will e-mail it back to you. ...
... Hi John! So the group is opened :-) Yes, the SkyPipe has many yet 'undiscovered' uses. People also suggested it to use it for recording data of our...
Somewhere I got two files: "bga.exe" and "IO.DLL" which is called a "Background Radiation Analyser". I get the messages "Unable to start the IO.SYS service."...
... Hi John! Try copying the IO.DLL into the directory where Windows keeps all DLL's. In W2k that would be WINNT\system32 On the other hand, I didn't find the...
Thanks. That worked on a Win 98 machine but not on the XP machine. Dusty On Wed, 10 Dec 2003 22:14:04 +0100 Hannes Mayer <captain@...> writes: ... the ...
Dear Listmembers! Merry Christmas to all members who celebrate! :-) All the best from Austria, Hannes. -- "Silent Night! Holy Night!" was composed in Austria! ...
Hi all! I just announced this group on other 'related' groups and some new members already joined! Welcome aboard! :-) Today I started with the high voltage...
Hi Guys I'm John Murray from Bristol, UK. I'm halfway through building my muon telescope. The power supply unit is complete. The first of the (four) ...

Hello, Through the computer club at my school I'm involved in the quarknet project (quarknet.fnal.gov) and have been directing those in the comupter club to...
Greetings from the beatiful Bitterroot Valley of western Montana (46N/114W, 4200'). I have two Aware Electronics RM-70s on order for the heart of my muon...
Hi John, I have your BRG program and have been using it connected to a CD V-700 GM counter (necessary to reverse polarity of audio signal to get the pulse in...
Hi Dusty... Just import the files into Excel. The RAD file gives count per minute for each minute recorded, The RAN file logs each event separately with the...

Hannes! Congratullations: I love this topic! How about the New Year? Best regards, Jorge Dewey...
Hannes and Forum, I have some scintillation Xtals (sodium iodide), plus photomultiplier tubes, plus preamplifiers. All you have to do is to add a power supply...
John et al, I would really appreciate pointers to where to buy a pair of GM tubes at a good price. Esp. ones suited for this activity. Thanks, Eric Vogel ... ...
Hi Eric Well, I'm no expert, but I get mine from eBay. Mostly they are ex RAF items called 'Trainers' and usually sell for about £9.00 ($13.00?). I strip...

Hi all! Last year in summer when I was thinking about which detector I should build I also considered useing commercial GM tubes, but then decided to build my...
John Strong had a chapter on Geiger counters in his Procedures in Experimental Physics. One of the homemade tubes was 6" in diameter by about 4 ft long. The...
Try e-Bay under "Geiger Counter". A CD V-700 is a Geiger Counter. Other CDs such as V-715 and V-717 are ion chamber types and not useful for muon detection...
... I have experimented with GM detectors and written on them a bit in the SAS (Society of Amateur Scientists founded by Shawn) E-Bulletin. Here are a few...
