[amsat-bb] Amsatdroid/SATPC32 mismatch

[Mark D. Johns]

Kirk,

Not familiar with the Android program, as I'm an iOS guy, but double check
your latitude and longitude in SatPC32 and make sure that the longitude is
entered with a minus sign in front of it for western hemisphere. You should
see the little white + over Minnesota. FWIW, the next AO-92 pass for us
begins at 02:09z (21:09 local). I don't believe either of the times you got
was correct for the last one (AOS at 17:05z by my reckoning). Give me a
call if I can be of help.
