From the Climate Diagnostics Bulletin of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, issue of November 1989:

"Geosat data collection has been dramatically curtailed since October 3,
1989.  Although the altimeter itself is still operating, both tape
recorders have failed.  Because the sole operational ground station for
Geosat is at Johns Hopkins APL in Maryland, data are being collected
(by direct broadcast) only for the western North Atlantic and Gulf of
Mexico."
