Bob, ISS being the odd one is the clue. It is the only object whose orbit is often reboosted. Usually the problem comes about if you are using the AMSAT weekly distribution. Note that you can update the NASA.ALL file and it will give today's date, but the data may be as much as a week old.

... used an Elk as a base station antenna ... I would use Blue LocTite on all element threads ... then probably use marine spar varnish on it all before mounting in a semi- or permanent outdoor situation. And, of course, have some manner to rotate it. Clint, K6LCS

Hi all, I do not have the dollars yet to upgrade to an all mode radio to be able to do SSB/CW operations so FM is my lot for now. I love early mornings on AO-51 and later in the evening SO-50 and SO-67 when available because the roar of the crowd is significantly less. That being said, I like
