Hi Domenico,
I remember those days too, nearly killed me :^)
I think with P3E we will need to find a youngster to build
an automated telemetry website. AO-40 was half manual and
half automated.

Kevin,
The AMSAT Keps distribution service dates back to the dark ages when the
Internet as we know it did not exist. Many got their info from the packet
system since e-mail was fairly hard, and expensive, to come by. Also, all
satellites were in a high enough orbits, and did not maneuver, that their
Keps changed very slowly. Usually the Keps were good for a month or more,
with the difference being only a few seconds when you updated. AMSAT.ALL is
updated about once a week, no matter how many times you download it. For
most satellites, that was, and is, more than enough. They do have the
advantage that they use only the common satellite names, and at times in the
past have quietly fixed some cases where Space Track has incorrectly paired
object numbers with common names. They also include Keps for satellites
which for some reason do not appear from Space Track, but only on their own
web sites.
For the ISS, and the Shuttle for one more flight, your best source for data
is CelesTrak which does Keps, and only Keps, or Space Track. All the major
tracking programs will do this for you, though you will need to insure they
are using the correct files. It is a common problem, often discussed here,
and relatively simply addressed. For one old program I use for special
purposes, I just cut and paste the new data if necessary.
The Keps posted there are not really an integral part of the AMSAT web site,
but just a place where the data is provided for convenience. I hope a bit
of historical perspective, and understanding what is going on behind the
scenes, helps.
73s,
Alan

Why do you expect Amsat to provide you with keps?
Do as most of us do and get them yourself directly from
www.space-track.org the people that generate them originally.

Hi Kevin, KF7MYK
Traditionally AMSAT provided Equator Crossing to the users since 40
years ago when they were sent on paper by letters to all AMSAT members.
Actually AMSAT via WA5QGD send keps by email to the users every week
from Fort Worth ,TX and in my opinion it is a nice and useful service.

Thanks for sharing this information. After I had read this information,
I started looking for additional information regarding the amateur payload
but I am unable to find anything.
One thing I did find, it is not part of the nasabare.txt keplers but from
the engineering group.
Can somebody give some extra information regarding the amateur payload?

Hello:
I am interesting in reading about the history of the ISS and the only
book I can find at my local college library is:
Creating the International Space Station
by David M. Harland and John E. Catchpole
Anyone read this one? Good, bad, ugly?
Any other recommendations?

Hi All,
This is a good thing to consider whether it's for preamps or anything
else such as a tower-mounted remote co-ax switch. I had one meter,
think it was an MFJ-815, that did not have a DC path through it.
My co-ax switch didn't work anymore ! Had to peddle the meter and
put in another, then everything was OK again.

John, K6YK
