You had mentioned in one of your emails on the amsat-bb about

Can you send me a brief writeup about the name of the Japanese bird
and other detils whose voice is being used.

Hello Pop,

The FO-29 bird voice is of 'Bush warbler', 'Uguis' in Japanese, 
not duck, the voice of that we can hear at the begining of spring.
Japanese likes the voice of the bird because it tells us that
spring has come.

Hello Pop,

I attached here the picture of the bird 'Uguis'.

The status of FO-29 is now only Digitalker mode,
so we can not use CW and SSB and Digital modes.

These modes are announced from the ground station of JARL in Japan.
I think the mode will become SSB from Digitalker after next week.

This FO-29 bird voice is of 'Bush warbler', 
so 'Japanese nightingale',  'Uguis' in Japanese.

I put a picture and a song of this Japanese 'Uguis'
in the following URL.

Ohayo Mineo san,

Arigato - it was very nice to see the picture of the Uguis and
also to hear its song.  My cat also liked it very much. :-)

I received my special QSL card from JARL - that was very fast!

Sayounara & 73,
Emily

Dear Mineo Wakita - san
Thank you I have a few questions hope you will not mind it.
 
What is the meaning of  " hou hokkekyou ..... "
 This is JAS-2, hou hokkekyou .....
 
Also the YL voice announces as  " ducktoo " what does it mean ?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Japanese YL announces as 'JAS-2', not 'ducktoo'.
We can hear 'JAS-2' when we hear carefully it.
'JAS-2' is equal to 'FO-29'.

Also,
Japanese are in love the song of Uguis, 'hou hokkekyou'.
The voice of that we can hear at the begining of spring.
Japanese loves the voice of the bird because it tells us
that spring has come.

> This is JAS-2, hou hokkekyou .....

So,
> This means 'This bird is FO-29, we love Uguis, 
> the song is 'hou hokkekyou .....'

I put a NEW picture of 'Uguis'.  Please see here,

Ps. Today(Sep.10), FO-29 is changed to Analog mode
    from Digitalker mode.
