TITLE:    Nov 17 DAY Shift 00:00-08:00UTC (04:00-00:00 PDT), all times posted in UTC

STATE Of H1: Down

SUPPORT: Jenne

LOCK DURATION: Lock clock had us at over 12 hours. Lockloss reset. Don’t know actual time.

INCOMING OPERATOR: Nutsinee

END-OF-SHIFT SUMMARY: IFO Down. Earthquake

ACTIVITY LOG:

02:56  I believe I heard a plane pass overhead.

05:28 Livingston lost lock about 20 minutes ago. I called Will in their control room and he reported that winds had picked up to 15mph. sheesh.

05:45  I noticed to back-back 45MhzRFAM glitches. There may have been a couple more since 35 minutes ago. The Omega graph doesn’t show glitchy activity prior to that. As of now it doesn’t seem to be chronic.

06:42 Winds have calmed down to ≤20mph. Mich Live is fidgety between 10Hz and 11Hz. I don’t see any RF45 correlations to this. Range chart shows Livingston dropping lock almost exactly that we have a very large glitch and after that, we’re a glitchy mess. The RF45 business from my previous log is part of that and there was one really large glitch that wan’t 45Mhz or a Saturation. Jordan is checking it out.

06:32 45RFAM glitching for 5 minutes straight.

06:38 With Livingston down I came out of Observing to try and reduce the RF Set on the EOM to try and settle the glitching down.

06:44 Glitches still seem to be present only not as prominent to us. ASAIR_B_LF_90 is becoming unstable looking. No saturations being reported.

06:55 Concerned about saving the lock, I called Jenne. There doesn’t seem to be any action to take regarding this issue other than to aLog it. While we’re talking RF45 is settling down. I’ll wait until our range is back to where it was previously before setting the intent bit back to observing.

07:34 Lockloss. 6.5mag earthquake off the coast of Greece. I have to laugh because after the really tough time locking y-arm last night, it was the first to lock right up despite all the ground motion while x-is still hopping crazy. Handing of to Nutsinee
