Hi Meeko,
I'd also been away from satellites for 20 years plus, came back for a little activity this summer. That included looking for contacts on AO-7 (worked a UA1).

Hi Whats the current operational status of AO-7?
I ask because I'm returning to amateur radio after a lapse of about *cough*30 plus years! AO-7 is like sn old friend i remember and wkuld love to try working sometime soon for old times sake.
I understand its only operational when not eclipsed, but wondering about prefered mode/power etc and frankly does anyone else still use the old dear anymore?
Many thanks in advance Meeko M0FVD _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
