To All:

I think I have figured out what is going on with the "n's" in the TLEs last
week.

I have a substitution protocol in my process that replaces "+" with " "
(i.e. a blank). For some reason that protocol failed last week and inserted
a "n" instead. I am going to resolve that issue tonight when I create this
week's TLE distribution.

That process has worked flawlessly for twenty some years, but apparently
something has been corrupted????  I will resolve it tonight.

Sorry for the "n" substitution issue, but thanks for the "heads up".  I have
been out of pocket this week and just read though my emails. 

FYI. Tonight is my 37th Wedding Anniversary Dinner so the TLEs may be a
little late this week. (My wife will want her anniversary dinner, period! In
this she out ranks me.)  But I will get it done.
