Narrative:

In area B at northern california TRACON during southeast operations; the boulder and laguna position are combined due to staffing. This causes targets to routinely drop off on the southwest portion of the radar position; boulder. Boulder must use the moffett radar when combined to watch over 100 mi of airspace with less than adequate radar coverage. Boulder routinely delay vectors 10-12 aircraft during southeast operations.
