David, and other AO-7 watchers, I was hoping for Mode B or Mode A, but we got Mode "D" (435.1 MHz beacon only). Yes, I guess it just cycled into the 70-cm beacon mode for the last pass of SKN 2010! At least it was a nice strong carrier, and I got in some SKN QSOs via AO-51 just a bit earlier.
TNX to AA5PK, N3TL and K2BMI for the AO-51 SKN contacts! 73 de Andy W5ACM ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Giles" <vk...@amsat.org> To: <amsat-bb@amsat.org> Sent: Friday, January 01, 2010 4:38 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-7 beacon > Hello and happy new year, > > I've just been listening to AO-7.
