              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend,R.McMillan
Due to a hub restart this afternoon, gcam and dcam were down at the start of checkup and had to be brought back up. Arctic was also disconnected, and we had to restart the ICC. Arctic came back online with a dropped quad again and we had to operate in LL mode for SU01. While we were closed for weather, I recovered the dropped quad.
We opened at sunset and closed at 23:15 due to radar (on top of rising humidity and clouds). We got a little bit of rain around 02:30, and didn't open for the rest of the night due to the weather.
