Hello All,
I was quite surprised today to work Neil, ES6DO in Estonia just before 18:00Z
on AO-7 mode B. I was listening to that pass with the hopes of working a few
UK stations I heard a few days ago, and was just about to shut the rig down at
the end of the pass, when I heard a CW station ca
I copied 2E1EUB and MM5AJW on the latest AO-7 pass. Was not quick enough on
the return etc to get them. First time I heard anything other that

record is. Is there a current place where we are keeping track of these
things? I remember Mack was doing this from SV land. I must r
Hello friends,
Today in the 161.057 orbit of the AO-7 approximately 22:51 UTC our friend
Joe, K3SZH, managed to maintain a short QSO with Francisco Ramirez, PY2OV. The
distance between the two stations was 7738 km (4833 Miles). And with absolute
certainty the QSO could be extended by a grea
Through general consensus would it be possible to establish a unofficial "DX
watering hole". Time is the essential limiting factor when attempting DX
contacts on AO-7, or at times on FO-29. Elevating angles are usually less than
4 degrees. My QTH (near Seattle, Wa. CN87) has a ever so small oppo

when the satellite is less than 4-5 degrees.

I don't understand. Every satellite is always less than 4 degrees
