Subj: AMSAT-OSCAR 7 in Continuous Sunlight
Path: IZ3LSV<DB0ERF<DK0WUE<GB7CIP<VK2RZ<W0ARP<WW4BSA<VE3CGR<KA1VSC<WG3K
Sent: 240721/2003Z 6406@WG3K.#SMD.MD.USA.NOAM LinBPQ6.0.24
AMSAT-OSCAR 7, soon to celebrate its 50th birthday on November 15, 2024, is
now in a period of continuous sunlight through May 22, 2027.
While in continuous sunlight, the satellite's internal timer is expected to
switch between the two transponders - Mode A (29 MHz downlink and 145 MHz
uplink) and Mode B (145 MHz downlink and 29 MHz uplink) every 24 hours.
Post reports and check current status on the AMSAT Live OSCAR Satellite
Status Page https://www.amsat.org/status/. After a few days in continuous
sunlight, it should be possible to determine the actual or approximate time
the satellite switches.
