From the Schedule tab, if you scroll down about 1/3 of the way in the
information pane at the bottom, you'll see a listing for "TOPR Epoch (UTC)". If your data files are up-to-date, it should show "Saturday, May 28, 2011 16:40:40", the date and time of the most recent schedule upload to the satellite.
To manually update the files, go to http://www.ao27.org, scroll down to the "Source for TOPR Listings" section, and right-click on Epoch.txt and TOPR.txt, and save to the same folder where the lister program resides, overwriting any previous copies.
Good luck on Field Day!!

This program reports that they are up-to-date when I type Ctrl-U, but I'm skeptical. The file date hasn't changed from when I installed it.
Should I edit the Epoch.txt file or is there a better way to force the replacement of the file?
I'm running V1.2 under Windows 7.
Thank you for the help.
