    Kevin re-measured his second point, and sent me the result:
    
    36608 10 031A   1775 G 20120701074133068 15 25 1835281-104188 37 S
    
    It has very good residuals in the analysis, and now Kevin's first point also looks pretty good, so I included it, with
    this result:
    
                                                             460 X 579 km
    1 36608U 10031A   12184.29254412  .00002187  00000-0  10000-3 0    08
    2 36608 141.7634  41.8378 0086477 187.1552 172.7973 15.16290682    09
    Arc 20120701.32-0702.31 WRMS resid 0.022 totl 0.016 xtrk
    
    All five observations are weighted 100%. Decay rate remains an estimate, due to the short arc.
    
    Kevin wanted to revisit the reduction of his first point, but ran into technical problems. The original looks pretty
    good, so I am confident of the above result, and have scrapped the result I posted earlier today.
