I just check the AO-7 log to see what mode is being reported by recent contacts:
http://www.planetemily.com/ao7/ao7log.php
My understanding is that when AO-7 goes into eclipse, it shuts down and then when it comes back into sunlight, it re-boots and randomly selects a mode. Right now while it is always in sunlight, there is a 24 hour timer that toggles between modes A and B.

Hi folks, Please is there a schedule like the old AO-13 to understand on which mode is The AO-7? Every time I have the Ao-7 on my QTH I cannot hear it and cannot understand if it is not in mode B Or I have a problem. Thanks
