It's my understanding that two 5500s were recently repaired by Fermilab PREP
and verified to be working, and were to be shipped to APO around Oct 10 or
so.   If these haven't yet arrived, then we need to chase down shipping
status, whereabouts, etc.   Kurt and I will work on this today.

---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===---
        Most of 82 S imaged in two runs.
        Run 6528 lambda 113 to 153 including ramps.
        Run 6530 lambda 166 to -123 including ramps.
        The gap was caused by the death of id1.  The problem was eventually
        solved by swapping the PT board, md1, into id1's slot and
        reconfiguring it.
        Many thanks to Kurt Biery and Jon Brinkmann for their efforts.
        Note that this means there is no PT available until the id1 board
        is fixed or a spare 5500 turns up.
