TITLE: 06/15 Day Shift: 1430-2330 UTC (0730-1630 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Wind
INCOMING OPERATOR: Oli
SHIFT SUMMARY:

IFO is in and is locking at LOWNOISE_COIL_DRIVERS

Wind gusts have been high since the last lockloss and per usual, I would put H1 in down when the wind would go higher than 30mph and wait for oppurtunistic low-wind periods to lock ALS - here's a timeline since the last LL. The only sdf revert I had to accept was in my midshift alog 78457

All times are UTC

19:31 - NLN/Observing Lockloss

19:38 - ALS Lockloss

19:39 - DOWN due to 40-50mph winds

21:43 - Attempt to re-lock due to wind speeds below 30mph

22:08 - Two failures at MICH_FRINGES and no ability to lock PRMI let alone DRMI - decied to run initial alignment

22:25 - Initial Alignment done fully auto, attempt to relock - winds picking up about to surpass 30mph

22:41 - DOWN again after 2 ALS locklosses and 3 IR Locklosses, with winds around 35mph.

22:54 - Saw small oppurtunistic sub 30mph calmness (that only lasted 10 mins) and decided to try locking again - it worked!

23:02 - DRMI locked!

23:30 - Shift ended while in LOWNOISE_COIL_DRIVERS
