TITLE: 06/07 Day Shift: 15:00-23:00 UTC (08:00-16:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Aligning
INCOMING OPERATOR: Jim
SHIFT SUMMARY:

• H1 locking has been robust for all but the ending steps, but Jenne & Vaishali's work today has made it possible for one to conceivably make it all the way to NOMINAL LOW NOISE (NLN).  
• Jenne & Vaishali were working on alignment and A2L from what I gathered.  After running an A2L, H1 was running at ~56Mpc & it has been locked in this near-NLN state for a couple of hours.
• Ended the shift with handing a locked H1 over to Jeff Kissel for the start of some Calibration measurements & he currently still has it.

OPS Observatory Mode:  Yesterday was my first shift in weeks and I took us out of PLANNED ENGINEERING, to PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.  But maybe shouldn't have done that?  It's a toss up.  I'm thinking we should stay in PLANNED ENGINEERING until H1 is back and we are back to OBSERVING post-vent.
