[amsat-bb] AO-7 behavior

["Freeman P. Pascal IV" <pascal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone noticed AO-7 suddenly dropping power in the evening passes
over North America?  I have seen this several times lately with AO-7 as
it passes over the extreme northern border of Canada.  The power, all of
a sudden, drops several DB.  Any QSO I was in the middle of ends due to
lack of signal.  I can no longer hear my own downlink, although I can
sometimes hear the other station very  faintly.

Have others seen this, or should I look at my gear closer?  This only
happens with AO-7.
