Hello All,
   In case anyone else runs across this, the new webpage is using Unicode characters, to properly
display you need your encoding set to auto select/user defined, anything else is hit or miss if it will
display properly, this is on XP with I.E. 6.0.

   For Linux running KDE using Konqueror, telling Konqueror to fake its identification as I.E. 4.0 on
W2K it will display in a manner that is readable.

this is for the sat status page btw   http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/status.php

   I wont debate the merits of creating WebPages that require a particular encoding,other than maybe
a small note at the top mentioning it requires a particular encoding would be nice.

    I frequent many Nippon sites which have some really outstanding technical resources and they
sometimes do not present well unless you pick a western encoding for your web browser which
 is why it was not displaying well for me, but I have not yet had any problems on any other site so far...
 being that Amsat-NA is linked Internationally many times I will leave it to Amsat-NA to decide if
 the new page coding  is better than the old.
