Germany says "Hallo"! was created by clms
Hallo!

let me introduce myself:
my LND712 is located at N53.91887, E10.69691 (North-Eastern Germany). It is the Sparkfun board with a custom programmed solar/battery powered
ESP8266 which is currently posting to https://thingspeak.com/channels/305931
in a 15 minute average converted to uSv per hour.

Well, it is supposed to be installed outdoors but currently for testing purposes indoors. The attached picture shows the "naked" setup which
is supposed to reside in its own box.

Greetings
Coolmeise

Welcome Coolmeise! The LND712 is a quality tube so you should be getting good results with that :-)

Yeah, the LND is pretty neat compared to my older Geiger tube from Soviet production.

I am still not sure about the correct conversion factor. The mica covered window for alpha particles is yet closed as visible on the photo as it looks so fragile.
With no alpha detection I suppose the correction factor is a bit off. My station neighbours have about 10-20% higher readings.

From what I've read ( https://sites.google.com/site/diygeigercounter/gm-tubes-supported ) the conversion factor is around 108CMP/uSv for the LND712.
