Joe,
As Drew mentioned, the best site for AO-7 status (IMHO) is
http://oscar.dcarr.org/. I think there was some web site confusion in
previous posts.

Looks to me as though every other day GMT it is on Mode A...ala February
18,20,22 etc...
It doesn't get simpler than that, but it can get harder when the old
bird moves in and out of eclipse...a lesson for another day ;-)

You have to look at the pattern and extrapolate. As Bob pointed out,
currently it switches around 2330Z every day.

Hi Joe
For mode A, AO-7 is our baby. See http://www.planetemily.com/ao7/ao7log.php
it switches between mldes A & B every 24 hours about 2325Z. Check the on line
log. AO7 has a fascinating history it's available at the aforementioned web
site. See you there.

AO-7 is in Mode A every other day. Check oscar.dcarr.org for the current
mode switch pattern. It works, bu
In the past, I have used a 2-element 10 meter yagi.
Unfortunately, a G5RV is a mediocre antenna at best for bands other than 20
meters for which it was actually designed.

Hello John,
I use a dipole monobanda of wire for 40 m when the satellite is closest to my
station. When satellites moves away from my station, I use a 3-element yagi for
10, 15 and 20m. Unfortunately until now I could not work stations out of Brazil
in mode A, considered that Brazil is a count
Crossed dipoles and a preanp worked for me.

Hello John
This may not apply to you but I'm sure some others will benefit I have a 4
element cubical quad at about 50 feet. It is tuned for about 28.3Mhz. Now at
29.5Mhz the reflector is acting like a director and it actually "hears" better
off the back than the front. I noticed this ba
John. I dont know about the G5RV...but at the St. Cloud House in Clear Lake I
can hear it with a homemade J Pole, two dipoles 90 degrees to each other and a
converted CB whip... The RX is a very well maintained Heath SB 300 and a Radio

I've been using my BuddiPole. Seems to work OK.
