[amsat-bb] AO-85 in Gpredict

[Mac A. Cody]

Greg,

I have found that the URL you provided does not appear to work with
Gpredict.  I have found that the following URL does work:

http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt

I don't know why http works and https doesn't, but that is my
experience with Gpredict.

73,

>> Hello,   Seeing the posts I downloaded Gpredict  to give it a try. I could not find AO-85 (FOX-1A) in satellites listed. Even AO-91 is in the current list. Can it be under some other name? I found a way to add a bird but looks like a pain to update. Easy way?  And if AO-91 is in the list why was AO-85 left out?TNX 73 Mike K4MIA
