During a phone call with Kent White, local operator for the Goose Bay radar, it was determined the problem with the Goose Bay site that has resulted in bad/non-existent data for the past few weeks. Kent track the problem down to a bad power outlet that seemed to be causing power bars to fail one after another. Using a new power bar plugged into a different power outlet, the radar has been running for several hours and has been collecting sensible data. Many thanks go to Kent for solving this problem without requiring a trip from someone at the SuperDARN lab at Virginia Tech.
The return of normal operations at the site paves the way for this radar to begin to participate in the RBSP operations that other Virginia Tech SuperDARN radars have already started.
