Hello Satellite People;
it is my opinion that we are quickly approaching the end of the Eclipse
Cycle for AO7 this season. I had previously estimated the "final"
eclipse to be on August the 2nd between 0200 and 0300 UTC but upon
closer check with fresh Kep's it looks like the eclipse duration
AO7 is in Mode A during the 1309UTC pass over EM55aj84ta, just now.
Signals had slight distortion in them, but CW and SSB was readable.
I am not 100% sure if this is an indication of the end of the eclipse
cycle and the return to daily mode switches. My predictions had shown
more eclipses for
TO ALL AO7 USERS:
AT 2152UTC, THE AO7 PASS OVER THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE IS STILL IN MODE A.
I will check to see if the 1047UTC time is still the "switch" time for
the satellite in the morning my first pass that is "close" to the switch
time is at 0950UTC, the satellite will be over Antarctica wh
To all AO7 Users:
AO7 is in Mode A this morning, the normal switch should have occurred
around 10:50UTC, I believe that it was about this time last year when
AO7 was "stuck" in Mode B for about 3 weeks or more.

telling when
Hello Linear Satellite lovers!

If you want and un-congested satellite pass that will give you good
distance and plenty of time on the "Bird", then Mode A is the mode/bird
to try.
Almost any type of an antenna will work, I

I was listening for Paul, 2M1EUB/P on AO7 this morning and AO7 was still
in Mode A when I came into the footprint, I listened and called for Paul

Good Day BB;
this morning during the 1035UTC pass of AO7 over the USA AO7 switched
from Mode B to Mode A at 1037UTC according to my station clock.
Due to the fact that something cause the satellite to "shift" the switch
time to begin with it cannot be said that this switch time will remain

The AO7 switching time seems to have changed, can any one in the control
team shed any light on the subject please
