I really hope the EU doesn't jump on this too! If they do, I'll move to Antarctica...

I just tried putting a smoke alarm close to the detector, and it does indeed shower a higher average! Also, looking closer at the detector, there's a radioactive warning label on it ;)

Here you go :)
I might take some pictures inside the box someday and upload, though there's nothing much to show, just some support made of wood. The geiger tube is wrapped in foam in the bottom of the box.

Sorry but... where? I can't find it! ;)

You need to add an image tag in your sig to referenence draw.php with your sensor id as a parameter. I'll try it now ...
Al.
Exactly, look at the URL of our images and just change the host ID to yours.
The box, including cables and clips for the geiger tube, cost me about 5€ in the local electronics supplier. I had to saw out a slot for the display and the usb cable.
The box is a little large, the sensor could easily have fit into a smaller one, but I don't mind as it just has to sit on a shelf, not be portable.
Edit: Al, that's a very low average radiation you have, where is your sensor placed?

Sensor arrived, connected, first WU returned, validated and credited :)
Nobody died ;)
Al.
Congrats! :)
I've got mine boxed:
EDIT: The forum doesn't allow pictures in the posts?
EDIT-EDIT: Now it works... Sorry if it's a little large though!

Yes, I set it to a few hundred meters from where I live. Does it show up ok on your stats?
Posted 4569 days ago by Kenneth Larsen
Looking at the first results from my sensor, it seems that I live in a quiet neighbourhood - around 0,11 uSv/h.
