[amsat-bb] Band designators, Modes (age and stubborn)

[Mark Lunday]

Echo Bob's comments.  Although not at the end of the scale, it only takes a
few nudges to get me there.

And regarding AO-85 and Fox-1A or Fox1 or whatever it's now called...I find
it easier to track by the 5-digit numerical unique ID assigned to each
satellite (yes, I am a computer geek accustomed to that type of
unique-ness).

No, I don't memorize the ID, but with many satellites having AA-## AND a
name, it's difficult to tell who is referring to what when I read about a
particular bird.

So it's like converting the local Time Zone to GMT and back, with a handy
Excel Spreadsheet list.
