Bob,
Unless something has changed, Drew mentioned it will be in L/V for the first half of FD and U/V for the second half.
Hope you work you this weekend.

Since the majority of Field Day operators may not have the 1.2G equipment while out in the field is there a way to keep AO-92 in U/V mode?
AO-91 is going to be extremely busy. Inquiring minds are asking....

It is in U/v normally. They are actively switching it to L/v.
From ANS:
AMSAT Operations Updates AO-85 Status / AO-92 Field Day Plans
AO-85's FM repeater is still active during the current period of full illumination. Both downlink and uplink frequencies are off freq- uency low and DUV telemetry is not active. Continued operations are not guaranteed after the full illumination period ends on June 19. Work it while you can!
AO-92 will be available in both U/v and L/v for Field Day this year. The current plan is to command AO-92 to L/v on the 0416Z pass on June 22, the evening before Field Day. The 24 hour timer will then run to expiration, and the satellite will revert to Mode U/v for the remainder of Field Day weekend. The planned timing should provide for at least one accessible pass for the continental US in L/v before returning to U/v. If commanding to L/v on the 0416Z pass is not successful, we will reattempt Field Day morning. Please keep the uplink clear during commanding.
Additionally, requests were made to the LilacSat-2, IO-86 and PO-101 command stations for special scheduling of these FM repeaters for Field Day. Please watch for these teams’ schedule announcements on Twitter and amsat-bb prior to Field Day weekend. Note that IO-86 is only accessible to those stations below about 30 degrees of latitude, but is a very strong repeater and easily worked to the local horizon.
The FM repeaters on AO-91 and SO-50 are also expected to be available as normal during Field Day.
[ANS thanks AMSAT Vice President-Operations Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, for the above information.]

We announced the AO-92 plan for Field Day last weekend in ANS, which is always cross-posted to this email list. https://www.amsat.org/ans-167-amsat-news-service-bulletins-for-june-16/
AO-91, SO-50, IO-86, PO-101, and LilacSat-2 will all be available on Field Day in V/u or U/v FM repeater, and lots and lots of transponders are out there. Setting aside half of the weekend on AO-92 for L/v is a fair compromise.

Also, my experience in past years was that there was no shortage of capable mode-L operators. Hoping I can get in this year.
Thanks for doing this, Drew!
