Mode A activity
by John Geiger 22 Feb '14

22 Feb '14

My current radio is an Icom 706MKII which is a HF/6/2m rig so my satellite activity would be limited to AO7 Mode A. What is the currently activity level on Mode A? I am working on improving my 10 meter antenna to receive AO7 better. 73 John AF5CC
