                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 The night started out partly to mostly clear skies but there were
 dark storm clouds above the basin and weak but real radar returns
 from the same clouds. I decided to wait a bit to open. By 20:30
 however the sky was overcast and the dewpoint split was getting
 smaller and smaller. We never openend the remainder of the night.
