           Operator is Jim Ogle.                                                
           VCLOCK okay.

     2234  Begin.                                                               
          %Raining at PT and KP.                                                
          %High wind gusts at OV and MK.                                        
          %SC 7mm sensitivity low by 50%.                        13120          
          %BR 7mm sensitivity low.                               14268          
     2234 *MK tape not loaded in time but sources are all        HUERR          
           below the horizon for the entire first pass so no                    
           data is actually affected.                                           
2234-2236 *PT head positioning error.                            REC    100    2

     2313 *KP tape is correctly positioned so the astronomical                  
           data may be okay, but it autostowed at some point                    
           during the crash period so the data may not be any                   
           good after all.
