Thanks in advance. Doubtful, very doubtful. Railroad tracks are grounded at semi-regular distances up and down the tracks. Unless the frequency exactly matched the distance between the grounds it would have very poor performance.

To: ham-space@ucsd.edu I've been saving the 2 line element sets from this newsgroup and they are NOT working with stsorbit plus. I remove the info before the actual set and the program will not read it. I don't quite understand why. Any help would be appreciated through e-mail. In the meantime, I'll have to go elsewhere for the latest sets. Thanks!

To: ham-space@ucsd.edu Hello, I have never read this newsgroup, and only recently dug up an old Sky&Tel in which there are plans for making a directional antenna to observe Jupiter. The problem is that my short wave radio broke down. Does anyone have any ideas of how to get one for one day only ? (the Shoemaker-Levy vs. Jup.) I was thinking of buying one and then returning it. Any help and extra info on how to observe this event (frequency ?) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Tom Szymkiewicz Worcester, Massachusetts ------------------------------ End of Ham-Space Digest V94 #159 ******************************
