For those of you who have been asking, "Where is Alaska and Hawaii?  We are states, too, you know, since 1959!", then here are your maps of Alaska and Hawaii.  We are asking that if you live in Alaska or Hawaii (and especially if you are one of those who has been asking the above question), to run a Monitoring Station.  This is a volunteer, grass roots network.  If we don't do it ourselves, it's not going to get done.  All you need is a compatible Radiation Detector and the Radiation Network Software.

There are now a total of 5 Monitoring Stations in Hawaii on our network.  The station on Maui uses the Inspector model, with its higher count rate, and gives a Total reading of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma (and X-Ray) in CPM, and it is placed where it is able to "sniff' the outside air.  The station on Kauai also operates a higher count rate, pancake-tubed model, which is mounted outdoors as well.  And 3 stations now dot the Big Island of Hawaii, two running the ultra-sensitive Inspector, while the third operates a standard tubed Monitor 4 Geiger Counter.

Meanwhile, we now have a Monitoring Station in Alaska online.  Look for a yellow circle near Anchorage.  This station is running the higher count rate Inspector model, and for the present is monitoring indoors.
