[amsat-bb] AO-7 Mode A on the AMSAT status page

[Alan]

Tom,

According to ILLUM, the last eclipse was 1 minute on 10 Oct, and the next
eclipse will be 1 minute on 1 December.  PREDICT presents things slightly
differently, and gives the period of full illumination as 9 Oct to 2
December.

Apparently a status line times out if there is no data for a period of time,
but not the dropdown box.  Just for fun, I put in a Not Heard report, and
the Mode A status line is back. Who knew?

73,

Alan

<As I understand, AO-7 will begin doing 24 hour mode switches about now.  So
<I went to the status page on AMSAT.org and see that the Mode A listing is
no
