[amsat-bb] AO-7

[Meeko Kittika]

Hi
Whats the current operational status of AO-7?

I ask because I'm returning to amateur radio after a lapse of about *cough*30 plus years!
AO-7 is like sn old friend i remember and wkuld love to try working sometime soon for old times sake.

I understand its only operational when not eclipsed,  but wondering about prefered mode/power etc and frankly does anyone else still use the old dear anymore?

Many thanks in advance
