I find it odd that they did not reply to you in Mode A. Given that the
warnings about excessive power can lead to random mode switching on
AO-7 stretch back 37 years, one can only conclude that they wanted the
satellite to be in Mode A.

I had to try the last pass before that moment in JO22nc (and the first pass
in a while at a usable time for me). Heard at least two QSOs but
I was listening to AO-7 in Mode B as it rose at 2153Z.
At 2158Z, AO-7 suddenly switched from Mode B to Mode A.
At the time of the switch, there were two stations using excessive power (badly FMing) on the bird. Not sure if that was a
coincidence or not.
Called CQ on Mode A in both CW and SSB
Bob,
I can tell you from years of experience with writing tracking programs for
Windows and iOS that one of the biggest problems is decay. Strange things
happen to math routines when the altitude of the satellite drops below the
surface of the earth. One solution is filtering out these decayed sat
Dear Laurynas
This afternoon we had two good passes over Brazil and we make contact with
PY4ZBZ, PU2NGB .
Here are an sample of signals receive on the last 3 days .
Thank you for this nice sat .

Dear radio amateurs,
A courtesy notice that LituanicaSAT-1 transponder will be operative until
June 5, 0100z. At about this time period a scheduled reset should occur and
both CW FM beacon on 437.275 MHz and 9k6 baud telemetry on 437.545 MHz
should be heard. We encourage you to send reports to fin

I have experienced a similar problem in satpc32, although the error message is
not exactly the same. I see this only on a Win 8.1 PC. One thing I have done
with some success is to IMMEDIATELY update Keps as soon as satpc32 finishes
booting. I am also interested in a permanent fix for this.
Red,
Ron thanks for going to the DL grid and for those working towards the GOT
GRIDS? award remember only SSB/CW contacts will count

One way to measure the g/t is to use sun noise. You point your antenna
toward the sun and cold sky and measure the delta noise. Use that attached
ss to calculate the g/t . I have a similar system and let compare notes.
Also take a look at the SETTI League doc for back grown

I have listened several times and never heard the CW beacon, so that's neat.
The channel 6D value shows the telemetry to be nothing more than
gibberish, unfortunately, as that number should be 50 +/- 1.
