AO-7 still continues to surprise

Nader, ST2NH reports that David VK5DG and many others have suceeded in decoding the return of the AO-7 70cm RTTY telemetry.

David writes on the Amsat BB

Hello again,

Another pass (2009-02-28 2225 UTC) and the 70cm beacon was on again.

This time I used fldigi and worked out it was sending RTTY at 45 baud.

Using a 85Hz shift gave strings of digits that made the pattern -xxyyy-xxyyy-xxyyy  where xx is the channel number
(it incremented from 00 to 59) ..

AO-7 still continues to surprise.
