Rick,
There is something very unusual going on here. Satpc32 does not like
certain letter formats. Not sure just what's going on. Humor me. Open
whichever TLE file you're referencing. (Those satellites are listed
MORE than one TLE. Ask me how I know.) Copy and paste the satellite
name from the TLE to DOPPLER.SQF.
I have the WX sats in their own "group" referenced to the "NOAA" TLE.
BTW: the last character (unprintable) in each line is a carriage
return/ line feed (0d0ah), supplied by hitting "enter" on your
keyboard. That is the "end of string" character that the parsing
routine loading DOPPLER.SQF is looking for. No end of line character,
it throws away the data. (I think..)
