Oops, you're right...  It was SORTNENG I was thinking of.

NASAWASH is still available at
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/softwareArchive.php#pc-util or direct
from me at http://www.mustbeart.com/software/nasawash.html -- but it doesn't
have that feature. It cleans up a TLE file but can't select a subset of the
satellites.

There are a couple of other old DOS programs still available on the AMSAT
web site that do have the feature. Follow the link above and look for
EXTRACT or SORTNENG.

Hi All

I attended the AMSAT conference in Orlando and it was fantastic.  The
presentation were excellent and the high school students were inspiring.



So a big thanks to Lou and his crew and the  AMSAT leadership  for a great
conference.



Thanks

I'll second that, Nick.

Indeed, hearing about a high school group that is building a CubeSat as an
after hours school project is amazing.  More impressive is how articulate
and composed the two presenting students are!

The whole way home I was thinking about what a great group of people AMSAT is.

If you've never been to an annual Symposium, you really should give it a
shot.  Haven't heard where it might be next year, but when it's announced,
get it on your calendar!  Dayton 2013 presents a great opportunity to engage
as well.

It's priceless to sit and chat face to face with folks you've talked to on a
bird-one time, or dozens of times.  Further, hearing AMSAT stories both old
and new is one of my favorite parts of getting together.

Hearing Hector CO6CBF speak was one of the most inspiring presentations I've
heard, ever. (Thanks, Patrick!)

Thanks to everyone who replied.
?
There were two solutions,
?
Pre filter the download from Celestrak so that only the wanted sats go into
the TLE file.
Edit the TLE file in Orbitron to remove the unwanted sats.
?
Both good solutions.
