AO-7 is switching to Mode A or off when stations are overtaxing the transponder with excessive uplink power, especially on CW. If you plan on AO-7 for field day, plan on Mode A and have a backup.

Is anyone working AO-7B successfully? I am not hearing it and the Live OSCAR Satellite Status Page is showing a variety of heard, not heard and conflicting reports. It also appears to be randomly switching to mode A. Does anyone have any info? Thanks,RedKC4LE@amsat.org _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
