Somebody just emailed me off the board suggesting that AO-7's "odometer has rolled," and that this is actually orbit No. 156.000!
She deserves to be busy, I think, and I hope a lot of you agree.

Hey everyone,
Based on the AO-7 Log Web page, AO-7 is about to begin its 56,000th orbit! The next pass over the USA, which begins for me in Northeast Georgia at roughly 01:12 UTC (8:12 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) will be part of that orbit. I hope somebody might come up and hear a CW signal around 29.445 (the Grand Old Girl is in Mode A). I think it would be awesome to have a contact on orbit 56k!
73 to all,
