I'm still in lurking mode at the moment. I'm just about ready to activate on NO-84. And just listening for not to see if I ever hear anything on AO-7 Mode "A" at all yet. Last time I heard a signal on that bird was ohhh 1978?

Are the beacons still functional?
And do they always run, or is the 10 meter beacon functional only when the bird is in mode "A"

I didn't hear the beacon on the 2050Z pass at my QTH, but I don't have the best setup at the moment.
Do you have an AZ/EL setup or an omni? How easy is it for you to copy the average QSO on a relatively high pass?
