[amsat-bb] Re: keps age & ISS

[Alan P. Biddle]

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.  You can dig
into the actual file and determine the individual satelllite data date as
has been described.  The AMATEUR.TXT data are updated daily, sometimes more
often.  When you look at the SATPC32 Satellite window, check that both
machines are looking at the same file, preferably AMATEUR.TXT, and that both
have been updated.

I should have been more specific.  I run SatPc32 in two computers.  The one
that runs LVB has ISS about 40 min behind the other computer.  All other
satellites are right on.  I have up dated the keps on both computers. 
Confused??
