[amsat-bb] THANKS Re: Where did the TLEs go for BY70-1?

[Alan]

A suggestion would be to contact Tim through his website, politely explain that BY70-1 is of interest
to amateurs, and request that he include it in the amateur.txt list because you need frequent updates.
In the past he has been very responsive.

73s,

<As expected, atmospheric drag has the largest effect on the semi-major axis, eccentricity, and
