I am a newcomer to Mode A on AO-7 and for what its worth, I haven't 
heard anything other than CW signals on the Mode A passes.

Both VO-52 and FO-29 has its share of CW proponents, I usually hear them 
in the first half of the passband - not sure if that's a requirement or 
a gentleman's agreement but there is plenty of CW activity when the 
birds are in the footprint of me down here in EL96.

Maybe I am a little confused about what constitutes AO-7 being "in 
sunlight" but I work it at 10.00 to 11.00pm in darkness and it works fine!
