[amsat-bb] Generate times for FD satellite passes

[E.Mike McCardel]

HamSat for iPhone has an “Override System Time” function in setting where you can pick the date and time. Easy to assume other phone apps do too.
I would, however, suggest SatPC32 or Orbitron to make the predictions. Much more robust and you can create printable / saveable text files.

Or you can literally copy and paste each whole page (24 hrs of passes) to Excel, and then filter as needed. I don't use the AMSAT predicts page much since it only allows you to select one satellite at a time. One issue with the Heavens Above web interface is that CAS-4A is excluded for some reason.
