In Pierre's USA 129 (96072A / 24680) elset #440, which I posted earlier, the
argument of perigee is erroneous. Here is Pierre's actual elset:

USA 129         15.0  3.0  0.0  5.1 v
1 24680U 96072A   00108.81603120  .00042231  00000-0  55425-3 0  4401
2 24680  97.8897 172.7569 0475834 174.5727 185.9620 14.84272044    08

Pierre's elset predicted Jim Nix's pass of 18 April 02:15 UTC about 2.4 s late.

Mike McCants' elset agrees with Jim's point, as well as Pierre's points, so it
appears to be more reliable:

1 24680U 96072A   00109.08558566  .00046000  00000-0  62113-3 0    06
2 24680  97.8936 173.0377 0473002 175.2045 184.7954 14.84311278    09
