Because of it's low orbit and large surface, the orbit changes relatively fast. I have found that good calibrators are the Iridium satelites. There are plenty of them, and their orbits are carefully maintained. > Doesn't Denmark have some sort of shortwave time signals similar to the > USA's WWV?? Yup, DCF77 from Germany will also be available from Denmark. You can buy cheap receivers for only a few Euro for this radio signal. DCF77 is what I use as my time source. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
