I just heard it a few minutes ago in Mode B. Two stations on SSB,
several CW, and a lot of FM'ing.
I could barely hear my downlink on a 60* pass, so not sure what's going
on. I was able to get into FO-29 earlier today FB, so I know my station
is working.

Hello everyone,
I know it is fathers day, but I have a question for the BB'S, Can we
check to see if AO7 is in Mode A today?
I have reports from Europe that it was not heard in Mode B but my
compatriot in Europe does not have mode A capabilities.
I have been doing yard work this morning in advance of rain so I
missed the morning passes over the USA, I will be on later to see if
we have had a switch.
While during this Eclipse Cycle, AO7 has been coming up in Mode B
since May 21, 2013, I have been advised that it is a purely random
chance that it will come up in one mode or the other. There are
periods of full eclipse lasting 9 or more minutes over Antarctica and
maybe this was a random switch to Mode A.
I will be monitoring the 1852UTC pass over EM55aj84ta to see what I
copy, it is a 2 degree pass for me so it is not my best pass, any
reports would be appreciated.
