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

[Hans BX2ABT]

Hi Mark,

It's a directory hole. I never tried the "N" option, but I'll try it 
tomorrow anyway. Cheers for that hint.

I'll also try to play with the directory.db file (don't worry, I have 
backups of everything, hi hi).

Cheers,

Hans
