Hi, Bruce;
 
 BL> Hi Ivy,
 
 BL> Just out of curiousity, are you getting the SB-SAT_TRACK echo ?
 
I am areafixing it now.
 
 BL> I think I saw the keps for Sput-40 listed there and the full list
 BL> of all sats flying is posted on pretty regular basis.  If you haven't
 BL> been carrying it there, you might get all the info you need by
 BL> doing a %RESCAN of the echo from your feed.
 
IT isn't in Net 154 at this time, so I'll have to start with whatever
comes down the pipe.
 
 BL> The other course might be to drop a line to Hugh Gregory (the
 BL> moderator of the SpaceBase echos).  He has been REALLY helpful to
 BL> me in the past in locating data for the various HAM and TVROsats.
 
I am sending him netmail tonight asking about this.
 
 BL> I believe you can also get all the ELsets you might need (and
 BL> then some!) from T.Kelso's web site.  Don't have the URL handy at
 BL> this momment, but a search for that name SHOULD bring it up.  Also,
 BL> Robert Smathers (the author of the South Sky Satellite Scanner Chart)
 BL> has a LOT of sat-data available on his web site at:
 BL> 
 BL> http://www.nmia.com/~roberts
 BL> 
 BL> And I think I remember seeing a link there to the 'T.S.Kelso' page.
 BL> 
 BL> http://www.grove.net/~tkelso   (I looked and found it :)
 BL> 
 BL> I don't remember whether or not you have inet access, but if'n you
 BL> don't, let me know and I'll see what I can get for you.
 
Nope, only E-mail, no surfing.
 
 BL> RE STSPLUS:  I'm not sure about the version you have, but the one
 BL> I have here for d/l, has a special menu selection for
 BL> adding up to 32 (i think) birds in addition to the main
 BL> target vehicle.  Once you select the ones you want to
 BL> track (by the Norad #), this function will pull all the
 BL> information needed from the latest ELset (TLE) file.
 BL> Then just be sure that you use the 'update' (&) function
 BL> and the index file you mentioned in your post will be
 BL> created for you.  At that point I guess you could manually
 BL> edit that file to add/minus sats, but why ?! the program
 BL> will do that for you, as long as you know the Norad# and
 BL> THAT sat is in your TLE file.
 
I can track any ONE bird as long as I have the Keps for it, but
there is something missing, (launch time/location?), or I can't
track it as anything but the primary.
 
 BL> BTW: You can get the full ELsat TLE listing from 1:153/719 with
 BL> the magicname "TLE-SAT", Or from 1:249/112 as "SATDAT.ZIP".
 
Been there, did that.  Didn't help.  I now have Keps running out of my
ears, but I still can't track half a dozen birds carrying Ham radio AT
THE SAME TIME.
 
Enjoyed the chat on the twisted pair!  TNX FER THE CALL OM.
