[amsat-bb] FS-3 (PacSat Ground Station) - holes not filled

[Mark L. Hammond]

Hi Hans,

Hmmm.   Are you seeing a hole in the file or a directory hole? I get the
impression it's maybe a hole in the file.  Can you mark the file "N" to
never download? Maybe Chris will speak up and point you in the right
direction.  It might be necessary to delete the directory file and rebuild
it.  That is located ....Documents\pacsat_data\FalconSat-3\directory.db

Sorry I can't think of anything else!

73,
Mark N8MH
