Hi Mak,

Well my home brew software tells me AO-07 is now out of eclipse but more persuasive is the fact that for the first time last night I was able to maintain contact with VK during what had been a steadily decreasing eclipse zone here in the Southern hemisphere. I think you can take it that Nova is correct.

Hi all,

as I read on AO-7's Online LogBook, today the Satellite "switched" on Mode-A after a long time. Looking for eclipse-periods, according to NOVA today @ 12:25 UTC it was the

last Eclipse for the current season! The next one will be on 12th of May, 2009 .

However, according to Emily's Log that is not true, the end of eclipses take place at October 2008.

I wondering... Is it NOVA "true" or Emily's Log ?
