Re: [amsat-bb] AO-7 in Darkness -- Has anyone heard it?

["Robert Oler" <cvn65vf94@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Perry.

We have had some pretty good evening passes where the bird comes into the 
sun.  I am working on some data to indicate how long it is till I hear the 
beacon.  Never heard it without sunlight.  Its clearly running on the solar 
arrays.  Continuing to listen for six and eight.  I dont think that 3 has 
sufficient arrays to power even the beacon.
