STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ed
SHIFT SUMMARY:
Locked for a few hours at the beginning of the shift & then high winds (as high as 50 mph!) caused us grief for most of the shift.
LOG:
- 14:40 Worked on locking H1
- 15:12 OBSERVING
- 4.735kHz peak has been high (e10-17) from the beginning of the lock.
- 17:07 PI Mode 28 rung up & damped
- 17:44 Lockloss: Had been suffering from winds which increased over the last 3hrs from 10mph up to steady 40mph!
- 18:12 Went to VERY_WINDY_NOBRSXY
- Jenne taking opportunity to look at MC2 L2A
- Jim arrived and tried some ISI configurations to fight the wind.
- Various people went to LVEA to search for parts.
- 18:16 Benton PUD here to inspect their equipment. Will travel down arms & be around Chiller Yards.
- ~22:45 LLO called to ask if they could do calibration work for an 1hr.
- 22:49 Winds down to 25mph. After a few attempts finally locked in DRMI
- Backed out Jim's configuration attempts
- Currently in the MORE_WINDY state
- Handing off to Ed & will see if we can get to NLN in the MORE_WINDY state. Would also be interesting to see if we can transition to WINDY from MORE_WINDY while in NLN.
