I was the station leader at a facility called the Geopole Station and also by
the name Geopole Observatory. I was hired by the Bartol Research Foundation but
found myself transferred to the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory (AFCRL).
I was there in the 1971 to 1972 season but need to check these dates. We had 26
different experiments running to monitor the effect of the sun on the earths
atmosphere. I have some interesting stories about camp century and the
permafrost tunnel near camp Tuto. Geopole was in place by about 1957 during the
International Geophysical year. I believe that it was shut down several years
after I left. There were two facilities. The first was no more than two
insulated boxes screwed together the second was probably a left over air force
facility used when there were Niki sites on North Mountwin. I was a in the
second facility. Bartol had a contract to find two people each year to man the
station and the Danish supplied the third. Bartol also supplied one of the most
complex instruments, a VERY large neutron monitor that took three rooms at the
facility and two mu-mason telescopes. Sorry for any typos or spelling errors but
your entry screen is very small on my iPad.



Thanks,
