              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Evening start out partly cloudy, with a front of staionary clouds to the west of us.  Occasionally, some clouds would break off that front and pester our observers but with no rain on the radar, we remained open. Aside from that stubborn cloud bank, and a brief scare with dust levels around 21:00,  it was a good night and all programs got their full runs.
Please add G.Stefansson,S.Kanodia,J.Wisniewski as observers for DD02/R, not enough room in the auto-nightlog.
