                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 I heard a clicking noise on the intermediate intercom while doing my test slews.  Bill K. went up
to investigate but could not hear the same noise as was being picked up by the phone.  He will
investigate further during the daytime tomorrow.
 Humidity kept us closed for the first program and I gave the remainder of the time to the second,
it was only a few minutes.  Humidity again closed us for about an hour during the first half,
until the front finally moved thru.
No problems the remainder of the night.
