    Kevin, 
    the elsets for 96 78 A (trumpet2) and trumpet 1 are not current.
    I think they have manouvred since last seen by amateur observers.
    They have manouvered in the past, changing the ground track.
    I havenbt been tracking them enough. To remind all these satellites are
    in Molniya type orbits with perigees near southern apex, so they are binocular
    objects for me as they climb up from the South.
