Hey Andy,
No disrespect ... but the Grand Old Girl has been in Mode A. I worked KC9ELU this morning and AA5PK after the AO-51 pass you mention in this email, both on Mode A.
Thanks to you for the contact on AO-51.
Happy New Year, and 73 to all,
Tim - N3TL Athens, Ga. - EM84ha

David, and other AO-7 watchers,
I was hoping for Mode B or Mode A, but we got Mode "D" (435.1 MHz beacon only). Yes, I guess it just cycled into the 70-cm beacon mode for the last pass of SKN 2010! At least it was a nice strong carrier, and I got in some SKN QSOs via AO-51 just a bit earlier.
TNX to AA5PK, N3TL and K2BMI for the AO-51 SKN contacts!

Hello and happy new year,
I've just been listening to AO-7. The 10m beacon was off and I couldn't raise a signal through the transponder. But I did hear the 70cm beacon and it was only transmitting a constant carrier (no RTTY or CW this time).
Any of the old hands know what would cause this?
