[amsat-bb] FoxTelem Java question

[Chris Thompson]

Hi Pete,

Glad you are running it on the Mac. The instructions are dated and related
to Apple's Java which was stuck at 1.6 and the only version that worked as
an App. If you run the Jar file directly or run it from a script it should
work fine with the latest Java release.
