[amsat-bb] SatPC32 and Ham Radio Deluxe

[Michael Carper, Ph.D.]

Here's a comparison of the AOS times for ISAT.  (In HRD Sat Track, the
duration is shown below the chart.)

I don't see a problem with any of the pass comparisons I've made between
HRD SatTrack and the AMSAT data.

The real problem I'm looking at is related to rig control (specific to
uplink Doppler frequency calcs) at the moment.

It's worth pointing out that (a) I'm using an HRD build that was generated
yesterday and (b) some of you may be using an HRD build that was generated
in 2012... or at least quite some time ago.
