I must also add by heartfelt thanks to Bart for the efforts he has made
to pilot SeeSat-L (and UseSat-L) over the years. Although others have
contributed to the list's success, I know his sure-handed guidance has
been much appreciated and respected. I hope he stays in touch with the
hobby he has done so much to foster.
I returned from my holiday to find that the auto-updates of my various
elset files had failed soon after I'd left - apologies for that. They
are now back.
SpaceCom is posting decay notices for two eccentric decayers at present.
A summary of my updated Decay Watch page follows - check there for
predicted elsets.

this, though the elset numbers indicate that several others are being
derived. The prediction is uncertain.
