In the Northern\nHemisphere spring and summer months, it has been quite unstable, easily\nswitching out of Mode B when signals are present in the passband. This is\nlikely due to the sun's angle on the solar panels. AO-7 has no panels on\nthe \"top\" or \"bottom\" of the satellite, and with AO-7's current orbit, the\nsun is not in an ideal position to illuminate the satellite's solar panels\nduring the Northern Hemisphere summer.\n\nFor a demo next week, AO-7 has an excellent shot of being active in Mode B.\nNext month, or in March, the chances may be less.\n\n73,\n\nPaul, N8HM\n\nOn Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 9:22 PM, Nick Hart <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> Absolutely agreed, Greg,\n>\n> We're just limited to what's passing over during the club meeting for the\n> kids\n> this month.
