Hi John, I wouldn't get too excited yet, one are you sure its in full sun yet? and two anytime someone nails it hard with high power you stand the chance of dropping the voltage low enough to cause a reset to the sat, so I would wait a little longer myself to see how this plays out...

So much for the (convenient) 24 hours timer theory proffered in response to my previous mails regarding the timing of AO-7.
This is the 3rd consequtive day the 24 hour timer is *NOT* playing ball.
05/06 Septembert 2007.
TIME. ORBIT. MODE.
23:46 50133 B 23:51 50133 A 01:35 50135 A 01:36 50134 B 01:44 40135 A
I have received confirmation mails from AJ9K and K3SZH that their log entries *ARE* correct.
As you Gentlemen on that side of the pond are wont to say ... "go figure!".
Incidentally, the mode changes spell "baa ba" ... it couldn't be that AO-t thinks we're a veritable bunch (flock) of sheep?.
Just a thought.
