I just downloaded and ran the AO-27 scheduler program and updated the 
epoch.txt and topr.txt files as instructed. I compared the text files with 
the ones currently on the AO-27 website and verified that they are correct. 
For some reason, the times generated by the program differ from the times on 
the AO-27 web site by 11 min 36 sec.
What am I doing wrong?

AO-27 is on a timer and is usually only active on ascending passes about the 
time it crosses 30 degrees North latitude. There is a program that will 
predict when it is in analog repeater mode and it can be downloaded at 
http://sites.google.com/site/ao27satellitescheduler/
When you first run the program you need to update the files(TOPR and EPOCH) 
instructions are on the page, simple as pressing CTRL+U
