[amsat-bb] AO-85 is still kicking...

[Burns Fisher]

I'm not sure if this has to do with AO-85 being off for so long, but does
anyone else using the SatSat iPhone app to track satellites find that AO-85
is listed but with no tracking info?  I checked the AMSAT keps page and
AO-85 is still there.

73,
