Is the latest estimate for STS-9 elements posted anywhere?  If not could
someone give them to me.  I was going to wait until the mission was
actually in progress to post any elements to my BBS by my phone has been
ringing off the wall with requests.  Thanks.

Subj:   STS-9 Correction
In degarbling W9KDR's message on W5LFL's sked, an additional error
apparently crept in.  Please change orbit #74D to 72D.  Rest of line OK.
Orbit #s then run 71D, 72D, 92D, etc.  Tks!
