6719	Logic Unit in AND for Au-196 sample # 130113-003, post amp at 50, take a longer coin run to check if the 188 keV line for the 9.6 hour half life of Au is still measurable after 2 days compare to run 6689 which is mostly accidentals from coincidence mode, ~3 hrs 21 min

6721	Logic Unit in AND for Y-88 sample # 130113-004, post amp at 20, 17 hrs 56 min 48 sec, some problem with the HpGe spectrum, the NaI looks fine
6722	-
	runs 5703 to 6722 are not useful for coincidence, the delay inserted into the HpGe CFD would ocaisionally more the HpGe singal outside the ADC gate.

 Somehow at delay switch was flipped up to the 1 usec position instead of the 0.1 usec position on the HpGe 

Hazards of taking data in a common use environment I guess

I didn't notice it before because the HpGe output was barely making it into the gate

Improved coincidence setup
