Subject: Orbital Element Sets Wanted
Hello element heads,
I am looking for as much historical data regarding satellite orbits as I can
find. I already got as much as I could from Dr. Kelso, and I am now hoping
that someone on the net has an archive of these data.
I am currently researching atmospheric models and satellite drag, so
historical info is more valuable than the current sets.
If anyone has any, or has an idea where to look, please let me know.
Thanks,
Dave Lynch

Subject: Question on AO13 schedule
Hi,
I'm getting active on AO13 again after about a year off, and I don't seem
to be hearing it when I think I should be. Last night around 11 EDT I was
listening to the beacon fine, but nobody was on the passband and I
couldn't hear myself on it either. IT said that the phase was about 89 or
so. Copying the data from the beacon said it should be in Mode B from 230
to 150, then pick up again at 190 (I take it it is off from 150 to 190?)
I know my station didn't suddenly go deaf, I can hear the beacon. I think
it's on omnis for most of the lower half of the orbit because of bad
pointing angles, but I worked it the other night well and heard a lot of
folks on. Obviously I'm missing something, and when someone points it out
I'll probably go "Duh!", but right now I'm confused.
I'm guess that the schedule is not as I think it is - so maybe someone
can walk me through it.
Also, I've been listening for about a week or two, and haven't heard
G4JUJ (Blimey!) on at his accustomed spot, nor the 890 gang. Where'd
they all get to? They were my most reliable signal sources and fun to
chat with.
