Will wait for clouds to clear before starting observations. DPMON COMMENT: Wed Aug 20 17:18:17 GMT 1997 Had lots of trouble getting the tape loaded this morning. Tried rebooting, cycling drive power, cleaning the drive. Finally got it to work by cycling the power again when it wouldn't pop the tape out after I pressed the button, then after the tape popped out I closed the door, waited, then opened it with the button, then when I put the tape in the green LED lit up immediately (instead of the amber LED) and I could hear the normal clicks and whirs. COMMENT: Wed Aug 20 18:07:49 GMT 1997 Struggling to get some e-mail transferred here via the modem, can only get parts of the messages, wasting lots of time. Need messages to aid in fixing the GONG instrument. Network and most phone lines are still inoperative. COMMENT: Wed Aug 20 20:08:22 GMT 1997 Was working on the dome and making phone calls regarding GSA changes, now heading down to the GONG shelter to try to fix those problems. COMMENT: Wed Aug 20 20:12:10 GMT 1997 Sky cleared for now, will try to get some data while I work at the GONG shelter.
