[amsat-bb] Re: AO-27 schedule for Field Day

[Stephen E. Belter]

This program reports that they are up-to-date when I type Ctrl-U, but I'm skeptical.  The file date hasn't changed from when I installed it.  

Should I edit the Epoch.txt file or is there a better way to force the replacement of the file?

I'm running V1.2 under Windows 7.  

Thank you for the help.
