Are these the predictions on the AO-27 website, or from my son's Java schedule lister?
The URL from which the Java scheduler downloaded the data files used to calculate the satellite's state was serving up old files.... I updated the scheduler to download from the same URL that the links on the AO-27 page point to, so they should match now. If the times given by the scheduler (online or Java version) don't match what the bird is doing, then I can only assume that the data files are wrong, even though supposedly up-to-date.
The updated Java lister is available at http://sites.google.com/site/ao27satellitescheduler . The updated version also refreshes every 5 seconds now, instead of every 10.

Hi all on the BB,
Rob, KD4ZGW asked me to post that he will be working A0-27 this afternoon on the 2052utc pass for anyone that needs that grid. (EM40) Also, there is a slight chance he may be on the previous pass at 1912utc.
Also, does anyone know who to contact to try to get the ao-27.org prediction up to date? The times are very late once again. Thanks for any information.
