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

[Burns Fisher]

FYI, I got a response from Fabrice, author of SatSat suggesting that the
AMSAT URL might have changed.  I told him what it was and asked how I could
help, but got no response.  However, SatSat is now displaying AO-85 with no
problem so he must have fixed whatever was going on.  Thanks Fabrice!
