[amsat-bb] CW straight key nowadays

[Eduardo Erlemann]

I love CW but I would say to avoid CW on AO-7 or unless using 5 watts or less in the uplink.
 AO-7 has switched off mode B yesterday morning over South America due a strong CW signal present on the TP.

Andy,

In addition to FO-29, the following satellites have linear transponders
available for use:

AO-7
AO-73
XW-2A
XW-2C
XW-2F

Watch your power on CW - especially on AO-7. A very strong CW signal can
make the transponder useless for others, and in the case of AO-7, cause it
to mode jump at certain times of the year.

73,

Paul, N8HM
