It was suppose to be a group buy but a few decided they did not need them so ... hubby and I kept the extras for our family instead. The major problem with these really old ones is they need a sample to calibrate the machines, and you usually can NOT even get anything radioactive to test them with. AND, finding someone to check and work on them ... good luck. The guy who did mine no longer works on them so ... they just sit in a box. The newer models are much easier to use ... drop the big yellow box and go modern! |

The people that is using these in Spain claim they are calibrated. But also, If there were just one guy showing the high readings I would brush it off as simply a guy using a broken meter, but there are at least 4 guys that I Can tell so far, one of them with other brand of meter of German origin, are all their meters producing false readings?

GrannyB, I forgot to ask, if possible, could you attempt a reading with the meters, just to see if you detect something? I don’t want to bother you, do it just if you are curious about.

The last video in the opening post is also puzzling, something is causing a UV meter to measure high levels of UV inside of a completely isolated from sun basement. This one is really puzzling. A sister company to a company I used to work for tested basements for radon. Levels were high where there was granite. They had to use long exposure test kits (no clue what they were or how they worked) because meter readings were artificially high (no clue why). I did QA and safety, rad safety included, for an oil field research project where a lot of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) was brought up from the deep via drilling. The uranium daughters were somehow “bound” with barium. I don’t know if that radioactivity can be close to the surface in certain parts of the world, but maybe it can. I don’t recall the correct vocabulary for the blah blah blah above, and I don’t remember if I even ever figured out the barium thing in the first place. I worked for a bunch of engineers and physicists who wanted me to stay quiet in my corner, and just do the paperwork needed for reporting to the funding agency. I at least have given you some words to Google. |

Meteor exploded releasing cosmic dust, cosmic debris and who knows what else. One UK astrovirogist tried to warn people about it (link below) but it was dismissed or buried. Panspermia. They said the cosmic dust was so massive that it would circle the globe for 2-3 years and would follow the jet streams and normal currents of flow. Then all of a sudden ... yep we got the rona starting. Coincidence? Ouchy Fouchy recommended once that everyone should wear also googles....GOGGLES!! Think on that a moment. When this all started over there. They nailed people's doors and windows shut...they welded apartment building gates shut. Why? Did they not know what to expect from a strain of flu? Or something else? For a virus? Then..fast forward a smidge....March 2020. We have a gigantic "sandstorm" heading to the U.S. from Africa. (Sandstorm or cosmic dust cloud?) They talk about these sandstorm like they happen all the time and have always happened. Someone clue me in if this in fact the case because I don't ever recall a 500 mile wide sand storm coming to blanket the East Coast before. Idk Yale released a report about the sandstorm ( its been scrubbed now) stating that the dust contained bacteria, parasites and viruses. The report contained a warning for people not to breath it. I truly wish I would have saved that article. Parasites? So maybe that horse medication isn't so far off after all? I was working in Houston at the time and the sand storm was expected to arrive the next day to the Houston area..and wouldn't ya know..that's when the Houston Mayor declared Houstons first mask suggestion. Luckily it rained for the next few days but when I drove home to Kentucky....the dusty sand was obvious. Hazy everywhere. Nothing I've seen before. Oh something is making people sick...I don't doubt that. It may have been discussed here before...Idk. All I'm saying is that this whole situation sounds more like cosmic debris raining down on us than a flu. I don't think that Fouchy could have gotten away with mandating goggles without raising more than a few eyebrows. Goggles for dust....yes...for a virus...no. Conundrum. I've been wanting to share this. Don't take me wrong here. I an not a It's truly the only thing that makes sense to me, especially when people who live out in the middle of nowhere and had ZERO contact with others have gotten sick with this...and died.

Do any of you recall the video that was on Never A Straight Answers website telling their employees to get a LOT of plastic wrap and tape to seal off EVERY window and door in their house? Tape off the air ducts and then go to the inner most central room of your house and tape that sealed off as well? Someone here HAS to remember that.

I do want to say what a pleasure it has been to have made your acquaintance on GLP, and that you are VERY (VERY!) APPRECIATED on this site. When you post, there is a purpose. Where you comment, there is meaning to be found. You are a very generous and kind person, and although I can't add to your thread topic in a meaningful way, I just want to tell you that I appreciate all that you do, and let you know I am one of your biggest fans on GLP.

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Ok Tangy, very useful answer, but this guy is working in the 0,1x scale, and the videos from Spain show the needle at Max reading in the 1x scale and at 8 Roentgen/ hour at the x10 scale. This guy I struggling to make it move at the 0.1x scale. So this proves the meters in Spain are detecting huge levels. Bear in mind the CDV-715 is for Gamma rays, not alpha or beta particles that are blocked by the metal casing of the ionization chamber of the meter. Also, people, this apparatus is a Geiger METER, not a Geiger counter, the apparatuses that measure in counts per minute, their entire range would fit in the first line of the scale of these CDV-715. Now, for those that say that these are too old and that there are newer ones, this is often said but the digital ones, as someone has already commented here, are said to be software capped to keep the readings below a threshold. This is why the last video on the opening post, which shows an UltraViolet radiation detector measuring a level 6 (of a Scale of 1 to 11) UV radiation danger INSIDE a BASEMENT, it’s quite interesting, to say the least.
