  I covered the realtime contact to verify that the daily load was
still running and the SIM translated to the HRC-S position.  I was
able to verify both of these and see the next CTI measurement kick
off.

NOTES:
1. We will not have another realtime contact until 297:06:45:00.000 ;
this is 5 hours after we have entered the belts.  So, we are not
optimizing our coverage to ensure ACIS is protected for the belts
passages.

PROBLEMS:

1. The 'Dynamic Duo' of Norbert and Herman are writing a CAP to
translate the SIM during OBSID 678 which starts at 297:16:53.
They would like to move the dispersed spectrum closer to the readout
node in order to minimize the effects of CTI.  I helped this effort
along by telling Norbert that he had to talk to Roger to get approval
and to identify the person who would be in tomorrow to execute  the
SIM comanding.  Ken Gage was able to check that  DSS61 is at least
available at 297:18:15, which would be fairly early in this 30ks
observation.  So, somebody needs to help this effort along.  Norbert
and Herman don't know how to specify absolute SIM positions.
