[amsat-bb] Nova for Windows

[Jim White]

One foolproof way is to go to
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt
and save that file.

Then in NOVA select
Kep Elements
Disk File Update
Manual Update
and select that file.

Then use
Views
Configure current view
to select the sats you want to have show up on the screen
