Hah!

I should have tuned aroung 10M more carefully, instead of just listening to the Doppler shift on 70cm!

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?
