I have renamed the files with only the first letter capitalized to fix the
case-sensitive OS issue.
I have also e-mailed Michael Wyrick to double-check the new Topr.txt file,
as it shows the analog transponder only on for four minutes, and it
definitely seemed to be on for the usual 7 minutes when I listened to a pass
yesterday. I think it's a typo...
