Green Bank Solar Radio Burst SpectrometerCURRENT STATUS (2015 May): The Green Bank system is being reconstructed with a new spectrometer, new feeds and a refurbishment of the 40ft telescope. There has been no GBSRBS data since a failure in a storm in 2012 July.Bill Erickson and Hilary Cane's BIRS system on Bruny Island suffered a serious hardware failure in 2015 January and may not be reparable, so there is no new BIRS data since then.Web data requests are not working but event pages should have IDL save sets; if data is missing send e-mail to Stephen White.
