According to Illum, AO-7 will enter a period of constant sunlight at 14:15 UTC on September 28, 2016. After this, the 24 hour timer should function and cause AO-7 to alternate between Mode A and B on a daily basis.
Nova's predictions are slightly different, showing the last eclipse will occur at 10:33 UTC on September 26, 2016. Nova shows that AO-7 will start eclipsing again on December 8, 2016.
I look forward to working you on AO-7 Mode A!

Someone the other day was gonna make up a schedule of expected times when Oscar-7 will be in Mode A.
Did this ever happen?
