                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings
    We were unable to open due to violent thunderstorms early in the
evening. During the first storm we were hit by lightning which
disabled the phone system. Craig Loomis repaired as best he could. We
fried all 6 station cards! It was also later found that the strike
that damaged the phone system may have also destroyed the GPS antenna.
Without the GPS antenna we were only able to generate good enough
times for the TCC for about 2 hours. After that we would have been
unable to slew even if we wanted to because we would not know the time
accurately enough for the TCC to accept a slew command. I stayed to
fill instruments at 03:00 MDT and then shut things down. It started to
clear around then.
