Recent warm weather is probably causing the bug problem, and the dust is probably related to the hazy sky conditions. The dust may be volcanic or maybe it is dust from China as theorized by NOAA. This morning was much better, but still not as good as usual. COMMENT: Sat Apr 6 20:38:32 GMT 1996 Extended dome slot.

MKIII COMMENT: Sat Apr 6 22:34:35 GMT 1996 I couldn't find any loose connections from the preamps to the analog boards that may be causing the ray pattern on the scans, but I didn't remove and reseat anything. Maybe there is a problem with the rotation of the halfwaveplate? COMMENT: Sat Apr 6 23:15:41 GMT 1996 Activity report: QP: 125; 227; 300. No coronal activity.
