[amsat-bb] AO7 status

I have been out of the satellite game for awhile, but now am back, after getting the 70cm antenna back up and a second radio to do full duplex with. What is the current status of AO7? The AMSAT page says "non-operational" but I seem to have seen some emails recently that might suggest otherwise. If it is operational, is it always in Mode B now?
