Re: Satellite AO-7 Mode A/B

Hi all Very thank for best infomation . I will wait for mode A with CW or SSB only (No FM). 73 ,Toff HS0NNU ----- Original Message ---- From: Ernest Erickson <aec9824(a)yahoo.com> To: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2007 12:11:47 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Satellite AO-7 Mode A/B (Rolf Moberg) Check also this link: http://www.planetemily.com/ao7/main.php Andrew Glasbrenner <glasbrenner(a)mindspring.com> wrote: Not quite. AO-7 resets every time it enters/emerges from eclipse, the batteries have failed open circuit, and the spacecraft runs only off panels and only while in sunlight. It comes up in either mode A or mode B, although it has been favoring mode B lately by a wide margin. A good site to check for the current mode pattern is: http://oscar.dcarr.org/ When AO-7 enters a period of no eclipses, the 24 hour mode change timer toggles between A and B just as it was designed to do 32+ years ago. The satellite is _entirely_ hardware driven, and much of it still works when the panels see sunlight, including command functions. The next period of no eclipses begins this fall. Please enjoy AO-7, and remember to keep your uplinks into AO-7 at levels low enough that they don't "FM" or distort the passband. There are several regular users on the satellite, so making QSOs is usually possible on most passes. 73, Drew KO4MA AMSAT-NA VP of Operations ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Attfield" To: Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 8:51 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Satellite AO-7 Mode A/B (Rolf Moberg) > AO-7 as far as I know is locked into one mode and it comes on and off > depending on the batteries. > -Steve VA3SAX > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.

Re: ANDE over the UK
by Henk, PA3GUO 17 Jun '07

Hi Chris, ANDE is normally "off" but can be woken up. Now and then it listens and if it hears a signal it will stay awake for one minute. Full details on how to operate ANDE are at: http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/ande-raft-ops.html So indeed, if no-one uses ANDE, you will not hear anything. ANDE's RX is very sensitive, give it a try, it's quite simple. Success !

Linear will do too. I've got it right-handed, as it turns out, so it looks like I'm all set. Thanks!
