Great to work WB8RJY and KC9ELU on that pass from here in EN82. Heard a few other weak signals out there too. Signals were much weaker than when I tried this setup from this spot in the middle of the night last year. Of course, that's the problem with 10m downlinks when the band is open! I'll try the next pass at 2144Z too.
Apologies for being off frequency. I'm struggling through tuning, holding the Arrow, and holding my hand mic since my headset adapter broke a few days ago. Luckily a replacement is waiting for me in my mailbox in DC!

Good afternoon,
I'll be on AO-7 Mode A at 1950Z today looking for a few QSOs. There's only a few days left until AO-7 sees daily eclipses for many years to come, meaning the 24 hour timer will not function and the satellite will spend a large majority of its time in Mode B.
I may also be on the 2144Z pass.
