              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Ken Walczak, Michelle Nichols being trained for AD02
We were open for most of first half, but the clouds were thick.  No data was being taken, except for the first hour or so.
We opened and ran wiht no problems for all of second half.  Some thin clouds started rolling in towards the end, but they didn't stop us from taking data.
