Thank you Juan for responding to my question:

   %(sexp) allows to include lisp expressions in a capture template.

   %(format-time-string "%H:%M") should insert the current time.

My template now looks like

("l" "Log Time" entry (file+datetree "c:/charles/My Dropbox/GTD/timelog.org")
"** %(format-time-string \"%H:%M\") - %^{Activity}  :TIME:")

Note the escaped quotation marks near %H:%M because this function is inside 
another string.

Here are today's entries from the timelog.org file
