Is anyone working AO-7B successfully? I am not hearing it and the Live OSCAR Satellite Status Page is showing a variety of heard, not heard and conflicting reports. It also appears to be randomly switching to mode A. Does anyone have any info? Thanks,[email protected]
AO-7 is switching to Mode A or off when stations are overtaxing the transponder with excessive uplink power, especially on CW. If you plan on AO-7 for field day, plan on Mode A and have a backup.

It also seems like the past couple of days is when AO-7B really hasn't been heard much. Perhaps the geomagnetic storms have been a factor too.

It seemed to be working OK this afternoon, as I made several contacts on it.

AO-7 Mode A was always a bit weak compared to AO-6 and the RS birds from what I have read.
Here's audio of a QSO between me and AC0RA on a nice high pass back in December. I was using an AlexLoop Walkham Portable Magnetic Loop to receive the downlink.

I just downloaded and installed Orbitron.
Now, When I ran it last night, where it said AO-7 was, and where this page http://www.n2yo.com/?s=7530 Says it is, was not even close to being the same. One had it over south Africa, and the other way up northern Canada. They both can't be right, how is one to find out what one is right?

Orbitron uses TLE files for prediction like everyone else. There are options for sources of TLE's in the settings page.
Some of the options do not work, as some of the suppliers of TLEs have changed the formats and requirements.
Download: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt From: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/keps.php under "Bare NASA (2-line) format elements for all satellites of interest to radio amateurs (updated 25 Jun, 2015)
Right click and save the txt file on your computer. The on Orbitron's main page on the right click LOAD TLE (near the time) and select the file.
You can get Orbitron to download some automatically, but many of the options no longer work. You should also synchronise your PC clock which is another option in the settings.
Can someone run me some predictions for like the next couple days? I'm having a terrible time getting any program to tell me where this baby is at. NOTHING I have tried agrees with any other! I have tried four sources so far and check them all at once and none are at the same location, some 1/2 the globe away, others like 1/4 orbit off. makes no sense. what I am using to compare, and none ever come close to each other I'm in Wisconsin Heavens Above, N2YO Page Orbitron HRD

Hi Folks,
This is a final reminder that our reserved rooms at the Holiday Inn Guildford will be 'released' at 1730 26th June.
If you wish to stay overnight at the hotel, I very strongly suggest that you reserve your room NOW to avoid disappointment. All details are at http://amsat-uk.org/colloquium/colloquium-2015/
If you don't wish to stay overnight - don't panic, you can turn up and pay at the AMSAT shop as a day delegate.
