ACTIVITY LOG:

09:40 POP_A_LF_OUTPUT looks ratty and he range has diminished down into low 70-high 60 land. Going to try switching to 45mHz blends at EX. uSei is kinda high bu winds are low.

09:42 Intention bit set to commissioning by SDF when changes to blend made

09:52  Switching blends to 45mHz at ETMX (X) seems to have decreased the amplitude in DHARD_PITCH_OUTMON.

10:02  Intention bit set to Observe. 76Mpc

11:41  GRB alert
