Re: [amsat-bb] AO-7

Hi Ron,

The 2m Beacon is at 145.975MHz.  Since you are in VE7 you will hear it in 
the daylight (North to south passes) when it comes over the pole.  At night 
(South to North passes) You will not hear it until it is about 5 minutes 
before the end of the orbit because that will be the earliest time it will 
be in sunlight.

The AO-7 Resource page at http://www.experthams.net/ao7 should give you any 
other information you might need.

73,

Emily
