More of my CPMs in Salto. Did anyone else record a big spike?
Wind direction on 21 April 2017 was from Argentina at 12:00 UTC (seeking time specific marker)
Attachments:
Today, I was cooking outside (because I don’t have a kitchen) and I used some questionable wood on the fire during the time this spike occurred. The wood had been treated with a varnish. I know, I should never burn that wood, especially for cooking. It was all I had. The point is – I (the treated wood) may very well have caused this 1.76 spike.

Here’s another relatively significant spike (no fire this time, been sleeping). 24 April about 01:10 am local time.The CPM in the downloaded data shows a jump to 80 at 4:12am UTC (1:12amocal).20 cpm before and 17 cpm after with no other spikes recorded. The GOES xray flux does show increased solar activity at what appears to be at about that time. http://spaceweathernews.com/
Adding to the conversation on solar radiation and how it impacts radiation detection technology and data:

Another rise in solar winds expected today. Two spikes already on my system today (early).

13:47 update: local time new spike evidenced – pretty sure it’s a solar storm artifact.
