Call from Mr. McKeown at AMS in Warick, R.I. They have had trouble in making the conversion from UTM to Lat-Long. I don’t have the origins. He spoke of support from Washington.

Told JLV I would delay going to the hospital unti I had done something about the comparison of pre- and in-flight data with the data we brought back from Patrick AFB.

Mailed a letter to M. N. Bradford of Liberty Mutual re: the $15 compensation to the Ellicott City Fire Department ofr ambulance service on 04 May 1961. Also mailed a copy to INA at Baltimore.

Turned in my Activity Report for December, including the proposal I made on 13 December in my trip report for a systems checkout or Operations & Training procedure. Site 12 had only 12 chances to lock on in the period July ’60 to June ’61; @ 3 min. each, this isn’t enough to learn how to operate the gear.

Call from McKeown:
SLat=7°54’25.254″
WLong=14°24’9.981″
Range 6,377,984.925 meters

Overcast

About 1/4″ of snow fell last night; storm warnings were up in most of the NE, but it bypassed us.

Rode in with HS.

Wrote a letter to Dave Cook re: his source of the single cyl. 110v 60 Hz generator.

Wrote to Willys Motors re: the correct color for Jeep.
