[amsat-bb] AO-7

[Joe]

I just downloaded and installed Orbitron.

Now, When I ran it last night, where it said AO-7 was, and where this page
http://www.n2yo.com/?s=7530
Says it is, was not even close to being the same. One had it over south 
Africa, and the other way up northern Canada.
They both can't be right, how is one to find out what one is right?
