RHIC Startup:  Gold injection has been a problem since the flip of the PHENIX magnet polarity.

Power supply problems with b02-qgt required a new jump card to fix Blue losses at transition.  An access was made to Alcove 3 to replace the card. 

Last night's fills were interrupted by two RF problems.  Blue Storage cavity 3 (BS3) had trouble turning on because of low temperature interlock.  Yellow Accelerating Cavity 1 (YA1) had a bad relay in the PASS indicator.  An access was required to turn on the Ignitron of BS3.  When they were brought back on, beam could be filled and stored.
