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
