RE: AO-7 mode B
Hi Emily,
I agree with you. Since 2 weeks I have my new satellite setup on the roof of
my new house and I only heard AO-7 in mode B. As a matter of fact I just
worked
S56HCE on AO-7 in mode B on a N-S pass here (1046 UTC).
I don't know about the rest of the world but here over Europe it does seems
"stuck" in mode B ;)

According to the AO-7 Resource Log that I have been running for a while, it
appears to be stuck in Mode B for about the last 4 weeks and not in Mode A
at all. I posted a notice about this about 2 weeks ago on the
AMSAT-BB. While it's possible that it may be in Mode A when we aren't
hearing it, it appears to be a statistical anomaly.
Prior to about 4 weeks ago the satellite was roughly 51%-49% Mode A. Now
it's swung to about 32/64 Mode B. This is not completely scientific
because there are probably people who are Mode B enabled (people with Icom
910H for example) but it still seems to be a significant swing.

Emily
