Does it ever switch into Mode B now a days? Thanks, Joe AD7D.

I worked KC9ELU this morning and AA5PK after the AO-51 pass you mention in this email, both on Mode A. Thanks to you for the contact on AO-51.

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" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> 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.
