              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
ARCSAT stauts updated at the beginning of the night, and remained present
all night. The 3.5-m was opened first, and the weather status page updated
when ARCSAT opened. A small radar blip developed in Alamogordo, and we
closed to wait out the rain threat. Humidity stabilized and the radar
dissipated, and we opened again at 02:20. No problems the rest of the
night.
