I have updated USA 116's elements, using observations by David Brierley and Mike Waterman, from 5 to 9 June UTC: USA 116 15.0 3.0 0.0 5.1 v 1 23728U 95066A 00161.97278935 .00018517 00000-0 44054-3 0 01 2 23728 97.8935 273.1810 0454996 214.7403 142.3310 14.76013022 05 I observed USA 129 at 2000 June 10 02:06 UTC, very close to the track predicted by these 3 day old elements: USA 129 15.0 3.0 0.0 5.1 v 1 24680U 96072A 00159.09765046 .00020553 00000-0 30383-3 0 04 2 24680 97.8887 222.1065 0504831 13.1950 348.1995 14.75833197 04 I obtained a couple of positions, but they were spoiled by my having forgotten to start my stopwatch. (I usually start it an calibrate it to WWV in advance of my observations, and then measure splits. When I skip the preliminaries, I have to remember to start the watch, otherwise the splits won't work. It's an error I've made before, and no doubt will make again, though hopefully not soon!)
