No obvious cause.

H1 back to observing at 00:46 UTC. Automatic relock except for a small adjustment to FC2 pitch was needed to lock the filter cavity.

I also ran a 'SCAN_SQZANG_FDS' once at low noise to improve the SQZ angle, which helped bring the BNS range up to about 142Mpc, but not quite back to the 150Mpc we were hoping for. Perhaps a SQZ alignment scan would've helped too, but I did not take the time to do that here.
