In July 2007 we began a intensive program of physical characterization of planetary radar targets at the Palomar Mountain 200-inch Hale Telescope (P200) and the JPL Table Mountain Observatory 0.6-m telescope (TMO), collecting CCD spectra, BVRI colors and R-band lightcurves of essentially all radar targets observable from the northern hemisphere. Radar observations benefit greatly from optical observations, especially rotational lightcurves and taxonomic classification. We also seek to characterize Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHA: MOID ≤ 0.05 AU, H ≤ 22.0 mag) and low-ΔV (LDV: ΔV ≤ 6.29 km/s) near-Earth asteroids as they become available from our latitude. Between January 2009 and July 2010 we acquired data on 38 objects over 107 nights at TMO and 28 objects over 8 nights at P200. We will report our spectra, colors, and light-curve photometry for the following minor planets, with the taxonomic classification (Bus Taxonomy) derived from our data listed in parenthesis: 1991 AQ10 (Sq), 1991 DB (C), 1994 CC (Sq), 1996 EN (V), 1996 FG3 (C), 1998 CS1 (Sa), 1998 FW4 (Xc), 1998 OR2 (Xk), 1999 AP10 (Sa), 1999 AQ10 (S), 1999 LF6 (L), 1999 MN (Sq), 2000 TO64 (S), 2000 UJ1 (S), 2000 XK44 (S), 2001 CV26 (S), 2001 FE90 (A), 2001 FM129 (Sq), 2002 VY95 (C), 2003 EF54 (V), 2003 QO104 (S), 2003 YT1 (R), 2004 FG11 (V), 2005 CW25 (T), 2005 EK70 (Sq), 2005 YU55 (C), 2006 AS2 (C), 2007 MK13 (C), 2008 EE5 (Sl), 2008 EV5 (C), 2008 SV11 (CX), 2009 KC3 (CX), 2009 KD5 (L), 2009 OG (S), 2009 UD2 (S), 2009 UN3 (S), 2009 UV18 (Ld), 2010 GU21 (X), 3554 Amun (X), 4486 Mithra (S).
