                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Az Velocity Scale: 586.6, 584.1; 585.4 (was 585 no change)
 High humidity, winds and nearby radar returns kept us closed
 most of the first half. When we did open the seeing was rather
 horrific at > 2 arcseconds and variable.
 No other problems tonight.
