I haven't heard from anyone who would like to help out with the AMSAT booth at Timonium MD this weekend. I will be there both days, I just need a few volunteers to help out for a couple of hours each day. Let me know soon (tonite) so I can request the package from Martha.

I just attempted to listen to the AO-7 beacon as it passed over the west coast of Florida. I couldn't pick it up... Is anyone else able to hear it?

Which beacon? The satellite was in Mode B, and the 145.972 beacon only works occasionally. There was plenty of activity around 145.950. I worked K3SZH, K4TB, KG4ZLB, and K7ULS. On the previous pass I worked K3SZH and PS8RF, and heard several others.

Andrew,
I tried to listen to the 435.1000 MHz CW with no luck.

Hi Joe,
OK, fair enough. That beacon has been heard recently when the satellite is in Mode A, and has been transmitting RTTY telemetry. Until recently it hadn't been heard for a long while. AO-7 is also exiting a period of continuous solar illumination, so things are beginning to behave more chaotically. You might want to check http://oscar.dcarr.org/ and http://www.planetemily.com/ao7/main.php to get an idea of the immediate mode.
