Locking Atttempt #6: made it to FIND IR!!! Lockloss at AQUIRE_DRMI_1F
A hand full of locks have made it up to MAX_POWER! but then LOCKLOSS.
After several attempts to Lock, and several Locklosses at MAX_POWER, I've decided that perhaps waiting in CHECK_VIOLINS and damping at 2W before going to MAX power might be the trick to succesfully get past MAX_POWER. Since the Violins are very high.
19:15 UTC lockloss from MAX_POWER
max Move Spots & MAX_POWER.
Hanford Monthly Alert system, sirewns will be activate at 1pm (21:UTC) .
Got into Check violins before power up and paused here to reduce violins before moving to max power.
Edit: Damping the Violins did not help in any noticeable way.
