Hi Michael,
OK on your Pintan IOTA contest...what is the grid??
 I don't see AO-7 in your list! Well, I am in the capital (LH31PL) of Madagascar and have some excellent passes on AO-7 covering Asia including parts of BA like this morning at 02:55 Z in mode B. I am at 1200m and a full view into Asia and can pick up a signal at 01 degree easily.
My uplink is set at 432.150 LSB and I usually adjust the doppler and keep my downlink fixed at 145.950 USB all with 5W!
It would be fantastic if I could work a BA station on AO-7 and count on your help.
