Narrative:

These ASR9 problems are continuousecond officerngoing. This isn't an isolated incident, but after 3 yrs controllers grow weary of documenting problems. I just worked final monitor north. (Lda runway 12L.) nearly every aircraft coming down the final went into coast at 1 time or another. Here is a list of the aircraft I had problems with. I don't know what radar channel or skip we were on. I will write a NASA report and am considering filing another ucr.
