I have tried at times to give it a shot of RF uplink, "just in case". I mean after all AO-7 came back to us! Maybe it just needs enough up RF to jump start it. Does anyone know what it's final demise was from? 73 Bob W7LRD

I just copied the beacon on 29.351, after not hearing anything for a long tmie. It's sending relatively short duration pulses today... 1 second on, 2 seconds off, give or take... later in the ascending pass(as I write this) , times are up to greater-than 4 seconds off /.75 seconds on Does that mean the spacecraft is warm?
Strange, that this is the ONLY mode-A signal around these days-besides AO-7 if she feels like it ;)
