[amsat-bb] Re: AO-7 beacon

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

Hi Joe,

OK, fair enough. That beacon has been heard recently when the satellite is 
in Mode A, and has been transmitting RTTY telemetry. Until recently it 
hadn't been heard for a long while. AO-7 is also exiting a period of 
continuous solar illumination, so things are beginning to behave more 
chaotically. You might want to check http://oscar.dcarr.org/ and 
http://www.planetemily.com/ao7/main.php to get an idea of the immediate 
mode.
