Re: [amsat-bb] Satellites for Field Day

[w4upd <w4upd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

AO7 is still alive a working rather well. You just can't depend on which 
mode, A or B it will be in. I have caught in "A" and "B" over the just 
the last couple of days. It seems to be (at least for me) "A" during day 
passes and "B" during the evening passes, but I would assume that would 
not always be the case.

In any event, most passes require very little equipment or power to work 
especially in mode "B". Mode "A" you have problems with skip conditions 
on 10 meters for the down link.
