    08.04.03log080403 cimalog fitsfiles TOGS run at start and end. Had to restart at 1018 after WAPP chip 1&2 errors, but uneventful after that.
    08.04.02log080402 cimalog fitsfiles TOGS run at start and end. Had to restart at 0849 after WAPP chip 1&2 errors, but uneventful after that.

    08.03.31log080331 cimalog fitsfiles TOGS run at start and end. WAPP-4 error in middle of run (LST 1530); restarted WAPPs and proceeded without problems. Had to adjust power with only 7 drifts remaining.

    08.03.29log080329 cimalog fitsfiles TOGS run at start and end. WAPP-4 error on end TOGS. Restarted WAPPs and redid end TOGS. No other problems except one strong GPS burst.
