Hi Conrad
Great to see you on the list. You are too modest, the list members should be
aware of your interesting web site and the fact that for many years you have
been providing bi-weekly sets of satellite elements to the thousands of
visitors to the CompuServe Astronomy forum where you are the satellite
viewing section leader...
Not to mention that your CompuServe posts got me started in visual satellite
observing. Thanks
Merry Xmas
