[sarex] [amsat-bb] Live video feed of ARISS contact with Pima County 4H/Vail Vaqu...

[John Brier]

Thank you Patrick, I did not know Arizona didn't follow DST. I often
have a hard time with these calculations and that is why I put "I
believe," to be corrected if I was wrong.

Also, the live feed starts 1 hour before the pass and that is why we
are talking about 10am local/ 1700 UTC instead of the pass time of
1801 UTC:
