TITLE: 07/12 Eve Shift: 2300-0800 UTC (1600-0100 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 148Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Corey
SHIFT SUMMARY: Mostly uneventful evening, but after the lockloss while trying to relock (hadn't done an IA), DRMI unlocked twice while we were in ENGAGE_DRMI_ASC, and got beamsplitter saturations both times, with the second time also getting a BS ISI saturation (1st time ndscope, 2nd time ndscope). Not sure what that was about, as I ran an IA and when I tried locking again it was fine. After being in Observing for a little bit I decided that I wanted to adjust sqz because it was really bad, and I had some issues after running it the first time (clicked things out of order even though it shouldn't matter??), but eventually I was able to get a lot more squeezing and a much better sensitivity at the higher frequencies.
