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

[Burns Fisher]

I've had some contact with the SatSat author who said AO-85 comes from the
AMSAT website (which is not too surprising since that's the only place it
exists :)  Trying to check with him about the exact URL he is using.  I
also don't know whether Satsat itself goes to the website or if he (or
someone) assembles the info for the app somewhere else.
