[amsat-bb] Life satelite status page.

I think I asked this some time ago, and if I got an answer, I forgot.

So on the Satellite status page, http://www.amsat.org/status/ there are listings for AO-98 and AO-99 which have both been there for a while, but are yet to be launched and designated. Latest Oscar number is 94 for the Chinese lunar orbiting birds. So why are these there and more oddly, why are there always at least a few reports of "Heard" or "Telemetry" for these non-existent satellites?

Just curious.
