Hi John,
I have worked AO-7 on field day using a 4-foot vertical plugged into an ARR preamp.

I notice, looking at the logbook on the AO-7 website that the Europeans utilize Mode A alot more than use here in NA. Since the downlink frequency is in the upper 10 meter band, and I wondering what antenna they are using for receive? I have tried dipoles, horizontal loops, G5RV, etc to pretty much zero luck in hearing the bird, even with close passes.
Any info would be appreciated..
