Hi All,
To day 20 april FO-29 was OFF during the ascending orbit 52710 over Europe No the 435.795 MHz CW beacon was heard nor the Voice/CW mode JA transponder was operating and not the usual translated noise was received and FO-29 was in sun light
I will monitor the next available orbits 52711 and 52712 over the mediterranean and the atlantic ocean
Beginning from orbit 52713 FO-29 will be in range with the USA
Please monitor and send reports.

Hi Domenico,
unfortunately I noticed just the same. FO-29 was OFF.
BUT, during the orbit #52709 the FO-29 was workable. It was a small accessing window for me over Asia between 10:55-11:00 UTC with 10 degr. max Elevation, and I'm 100% sure the FO-29 was OK because I heard clear my CQ-CQ on Downlink (CW). So, the "sign-OFF" happened between #52709-52710 orbit and this pass was over USA. Maybe some friend from US can be inform us if the FO-29 was OK over the State pass.

Hi Mak SV1BSX and All,
I was monitoring orbit 52712 of FO-29 over the atlantic but again FO-29 was OFF with no beacon and no transponder.
I have sent my previous message as well to Mineo Wakita, JE9PEL in the hope to get from him some official information from JAMSAT
I was not operating during orbit 52709 because of the low elevation of FO-29 for me on East but since you was able to hear your CQ on CW then someting was bad during orbit 52709 and 52710
Waiting for some official information from JAMSAT I will monitor the available orbits tomorrow.
It would be very interesting is someone has a record of the CW telemetry beacon of FO-29 just before orbit 52709

Orbit #52712 1640z was also no signal from FO-29.
The JARL office is closed Saturday and Sunday. I guess the JARL FO-29 command station will not act until Monday.
