I'm not sure if I improved it yet because of the clouds. **MKIII PROBLEM**: Wed Jul 22 20:28:29 GMT 1998 It looks like the occulting is still bad, I'll keep trying. **MKIII PROBLEM**: Wed Jul 22 20:42:46 GMT 1998 OK, the occulting is much better now, I was able to get a good adjustment between clouds.

Stopped program, had tape rewound and ejected. Loaded a new tape and started Patrol again.

Now the data are going to tape like usual. Perhaps "New Day" should actually be called "New Tape". I'm not sure what caused the original problem, I'm using the original tape now. Problem fixed.
