I also worked VE3TEF this evening on FO-29 while running 500 mW PEP.
My downlink was S8 on the meter. I had more than 50 degrees of

Don't worry about it.
The US doesn't comply with the IARU bandplans on any of the HF bands either.

Mr. Duffy,
I glad that you mentioned those individuals who made incredible sacrifices
of their time and expertise to launch AO-7. However, I can't think of too
many satellites that have "come back to life" call it luck and possibly
another force that also contributed to this marvelous piece of
James.
You're a few years out of date.
Joe Kasser has lived in Australia, Britain and Israel since he was a /W3.
QRZ currently puts him in Britain although he is actually in Singapore at the
National University.

oops, I still make a mistake and confusion. The Grid FN10og informed is not of
the Luciano, PY5LF station, but the station from our friend Joel, K3SZH.

Piraja,
Thank you for taking the time to report this outstanding achievement to us
through the AMSAT-BB.
Congratulations, Joe and Luciano, on your historic, record-setting QSO!

I made a mistake when I type in the Software Tinnylocator the grid of Luciano
(Not FN10of but FN10og). In fact the distance is 7843 km (4898 Miles). Thanks
Pierre.

I saw the QSO in the online log. Great job, Joe and Luciano!

Stuck? It looks like it was in mode A yesterday, and - based on the
posts at http://oscar.dcarr.org/ - switched back to mode B around
2200-2300 UTC yesterday. In a few hours, we'll know if it goes b
Hi Tim!
AO7 was certainly busy on the pass you mentioned, and the
rockin' continued into the following pass around 0225 UTC.
Lots of stations, even for a western pass. I was able to
log 1 QSO on the first pass, plus 5 more on the later
pass. And more QSOs on FO29, along with my quota for
3 FM bi
As far as I can tell looking at AMSAT's website and the AO-7 Log & Resource
site I'm not seeing anything mentioning EIRP. Everything says to keep your
power low like 5 watts or less. I'm not sure what kind of antenna gain
they're assuming when they say that. I pretty much always operate low power

Hi does the spec specify the output power as EIRP or not?
If EIRP the antenna gain needs to be part of the equation and
therefore you need to reduce your transmission power to avoid desense
at the receiver on orbit. If the spec does not specify then there
should be a receiver senstivity figure alr
