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

There is only one I can find on the app store called Satellite Tracker and
its very very basic because all the bells and whistles are in the Plus
version which costs like $2. Pretty much all the decent satellite tracking
apps for the iPhone/iTouch/iPad cost money ranging from $2 - $25.

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 ;-)

I found a web page that says it can track
http://www.n2yo.com/?s=7530
and i installed a new Orbitron, and gave it the latest set of keps it
wanted to do.
Thing is the two things do not agree at all where Oscar 7 is at. not
even close.
soo how do I tell who is right other than to wait for a pass from
either one and see if i hear anything.

Joe,
I have found Orbitron's to be off when I download the keps from
celstrak.com. I assume you are downloading them from there - correct? If
so, try getting it from stoff.pl. I have always found them to be right on.
I have checked N2YO's tracking program out before, and it is very
dependable. If the two disagree, I would go with N2YO.
73!

Joe,
As Drew mentioned, the best site for AO-7 status (IMHO) is
http://oscar.dcarr.org/. I think there was some web site confusion in
previous posts.
