I just downloaded and ran the AO-27 scheduler program and updated the epoch.txt and topr.txt files as instructed. I compared the text files with the ones currently on the AO-27 website and verified that they are correct. For some reason, the times generated by the program differ from the times on the AO-27 web site by 11 min 36 sec. What am I doing wrong?
