Wonder if anyone has taken a shot at trying to see if AO-40 could be activated or even heard. Whether anyone may have heard its local oscillators? Stranger things have happened (AO-07 for one).
Also, does anyone know when or if AO-16 can be activated again in its basic boot loader as it was some time ago. Its communications in the mode (FM/DSB/AM) worked really great. However, I believe there was a time issue due to sun angles. Wondering if we are getting close to that time frame again?

We try AO16 every so often. No luck so far.
