For what it's worth, I find the AO-7 online log page to be the best source of information on current operating activity for that particular satellite.
You can find it at:
http://www.planetemily.com/ao7/ao7log.php
The oscar.dcarr.org site is a great resource for learning about any number of satellites and their current operations, but it's not as good as the AO-7 site, in my opinion, for information on AO-7.
It also contains some great historical information on the oldest amateur satellite still in operation - with the largest available footprint for amateur operations.
73 to all,
Tim

Does it ever switch into Mode B now a days?
Thanks, Joe AD7D.
Just about every other day currently. Take a look at http://oscar.dcarr.org/ to get an idea of the pattern at a glance.
