Energetic electron injection events result in the arrival of loss-cone distributions of electrons at energies of a few keV close to the plasmapause at local midnight. These distributions favor the growth of strong electrostatic waves with some conversion to electromagnetic nonthermal continuum emissions near to the geomagnetic equator. GEOS-2 located at the geostationary orbit (L = 6.6, 3.3 deg south) has observed these continuum emissions for a number of electron injection events. Their unique frequency structure provides a measurement of the geomagnetic field strength at the source and hence its radial position, while direction finding measurements at GEOS-2 complete the source location determination.
