Worked CY9C on AO-7 Mode B today at 1813Zwith my Call and Club Call N8BC. He was there the entire pass and was constantly QRZ,but no one else was there to work him. Very lonely! Let's make their Sat efforts worth it! 73, Bob K8BL
Yes, absolutely, get on and work them!
Just a general FYI - AO-7 is starting to get more stable. For the past several months, it has often been weak and very susceptible to random mode switches, but I've noticed that over the past several days, it's been much better. I suspect this has to do with the angle of the sun on the aging solar panels during the northern summer months being less than optimal, and that it's now improving. That's speculation, of course, but regardless get on and use it!

I will try and work them in November when I move and get my satellite antennas back up :-). Right now, limited to FM satellites. Very slim chances from Houston for that.

Have been QRV on passes from EU but nothing heard, worked on late passes some K3 and NK1 stations … but will give a try on the passes where EU is possible.
