Vladimir has started generating calibrated 30-minute SFT's for H1, H2, and L1 using a new frequency-domain method described in a document on his home page. The method seems more promising for use in the unbiased search than the stitching method used before. The method may also prove more useful than stitching for coherent searches. Vladimir will report separately at this telecon on his recent work.
In parallel with the SFT generation, Vladimir has also been generating the power statistic (H1 and L1) to be used in the unbiased search.

Dave's keyboard typing has been severely limited by wrist injuries, aggravated by online work done during a visit to Hanford for the M3 engineering run, but he has managed to update some of the antenna pattern testing and efficiency-correction code in LALApps. He has also created some vector manipulation routines in LAL to be used in the unbiased search.
Keith has accomplished very little on the first-order search engine, but will keep trying to find time to work on it.
