I heard OH8MBN calling CQ on AO-7 today, so I'm glad someone 
came back to him.  We at VE3JW didn't have the key handy to 
reply ourselves.

Unfortunately we couldn't decipher any of the voice signals.
The satellite seemed crowded, but we were unable to copy
any callsigns :(

But, we did hear it and it's nice to know that it's up and
running.
