A small group of volunteers have obtained recent elements (July 1-3) that 
make up elements for LEO satellites that have the potential to be 
observed. The elements are similar to those found in Mike McCants' 
leo.zip.

There has not been an attempt to duplicate his file. We do not have the 
N21 description information in line zero. In fact, there are about 100 
elements that do not have the common name in line zero ;-) 

This was an exercise to see how practical it would be to obtain the 
necessary current elements.

The major problem is an insufficient number of people to obtain the 
elements given the present restrictions on the OIG web site.
