[amsat-bb] AO-7 Mode B Beacon

[Paul Stoetzer]

I had a 75 degree pass of AO-7 this afternoon and thought I'd try to
hear the beacon. I've tried a couple of times now and not heard
anything. Maybe my high local noise level prevents me from hearing it,
but I don't have much noise with the antenna pointing almost straight
up.

Does the Mode B beacon on 145.975 MHz still function or has it failed?
