Thanks for the tip.
One never knows if the spacecraft has been in the sunlight for long enough to switch to mode A

Hi Will,

I noticed that AO-7 was in Mode A yesterday and was able to call CQ (CW)
with no takers. Looks like it might still be in that mode for the rest
of today, but I'll check the beacon at 29.502 to be sure.

If you're available for the the 22:24Z pass today, take a listen around
29.450 for my CW CQ.
