Hello AO7 operators!
As of 1005UTC over the USA, AO7 is still in Mode A, the next 45 minutes is the normal time frame for AO7 to switch so the next pass over Asia, The Middle East and Western Europe should be switched to Mode B. The satellite will be over Antarctica when the switch should occur so I expect there will be no one to actually "hear" the switch.
I am betting that the switch goes off on schedule and Mode B will up on our next orbit of AO7.
I'll be on the next pass as well to see what mode/mood the "Grand Old Lady" is in!
