GENERAL 

Flare activity declined substantially. Only four M-class flare were reported
and the GOES background intensity is approaching to C0-level.

SXT TECHNICAL 

No new problems to report. We continue to use a 2x2 flare mode in an effort 
to see large-scale faint things.

The date part of a table ID reflects the UT date of pass 1. An
asterisk means that the ID's date number differs from the upload 
date in JST. 

This table plan is likely to change. 
Prepare for last minute changes, even with naming conventions.

Continuing requests:

KSC & SSOC Tohbans: If any KSC passes are likely to be cancelled (for
example due to typhoons) or an SXT table cannot be uploaded for any 
reason, please telephone and e-mail the Chief Observer immediately.
(sxt_co@isass0.solar.isas.ac.jp, copy to sxt_st@flare2.solar.isas.ac.jp).

KSC Tohbans: In general flare mode supersedes table upload, i.e. if a
flare is in progress please do not upload a new table, and contact the
chief observer. Normally it is OK to go ahead with the planned table
without change on the next pass, if it is available. Chief observers
should keep an eye on this.
