It has been at least a Decade since i was on a bird.
My question is with all the birds up there now.
Are any operational in mode A ?

AO-7 is in Mode A every other day. Check oscar.dcarr.org for the current mode switch pattern. It works, but it's not anywhere as strong as say RS-10/11 or 12/13.

You have to look at the pattern and extrapolate. As Bob pointed out, currently it switches around 2330Z every day.

Hi Joe
For mode A, AO-7 is our baby. See http://www.planetemily.com/ao7/ao7log.php it switches between mldes A & B every 24 hours about 2325Z. Check the on line log. AO7 has a fascinating history it's available at the aforementioned web site. See you there.

Looks to me as though every other day GMT it is on Mode A...ala February 18,20,22 etc...
It doesn't get simpler than that, but it can get harder when the old bird moves in and out of eclipse...a lesson for another day ;-)
