[AMSAT-BB] Re: Could this be AO-7?

The bird was definitely in mode A when I worked it around 00:00 utc (10/12).

My reception was abt 04:20 utc.

There is a really chirpy CW beacon on 29.502 that is usually on

when it is in mode A. I am wondering if that is what you heard. It sometimes sends some dits and sometimes is just stuck on in a constant carrier. I usually listen for it if I'm not sure what mode AO-7 is in.

No chirp, no dits as far as I can tell, just constant carrier with some (consistent with doppler) shift. I am more and more convinced that was it based on serveral replies, which is wonderful.

Thanks,
