                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Clouds, clouds, clouds. Seeing was poor until after 0300-ish when the
 wind shifted back to the east. Humidity climbed and fell several times
 but did not exceed closure conditions. Other than loosing 2 1/2 hours
 to clouds there were no other problems tonight. A problem with cables
 that were discovered last night however was traced to poor shielding
 and quickly fixed mid day.

     used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is
     particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
