I am (timidly) entering the ham satellite area, and would like to begin
by listening to a few.  I think I have all  the right equipment, at
least according to the various books I've read (e.g. the ARRL Satellite
Experimenter's Handbook).  I even have a super-duper tracking program
(in "real" life I'm an aero&astro professor at MIT, so THAT part is knid
of home to me).  My problem now is: WHERE CAN I GET FRESH ELEMENTS?

A friend of mine subscribed to the AMSAT magazine that succeeded ORBIT
and tells me no fresh elements can be found there; I tried listening to
a supposed Wednesday 2100EST amateur satellite interest net on 3850MHz
with no luck (perhaps I have the wrong day -- the ARRL Manual says it's
on Tuesdays; unfortunately today is wednesday, so I would have to wait a
week to test that).

Can anybody suggest a source for fresh Keplerian elements for, say,
OSCAR-10 and RS-7?

          Thanks, Antonio/KA1LLM
