Hi Mineo:

I hope all is OK in JAPAN these days. We don't get much news these days about the NUCLEAR accident.
Our weather has been very hot and dry and we need lots of rain to fill up our lake again.
No bad storms, so we are grateful for that. Now that Fallis almost here the temperature
has dropped a great deal to about 75oF or 24oC.

Enclosed is recent data from FO-29. The TELEMETRY has many errors and needs a reset:

69  4C  96  91  9F  74  EE  EC  EE  EE  E8  20:44 UTC
6D  60  98  91  E1  82  EE  EB  ED  ED  48  20:54 UTC
6F  61  9A  93  F1  8B  ED  EB  ED  ED  E9  20:57 UTC

Performance of the bird seems normal.  
Eclipses are getting longer so I hope the battery continues to function normally.
Are you on the air on any of the HF DX bands?
Look foreward to hearing from you again soon.

73 for now,
Frank K9CIS
