The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) publishes a book called
'The Satellite Experimenter's Handbook' by Martin Davidoff.
It has some sections on orbital calculations.  I had to track it down
through a ham radio store, no normal book stores or electronics
stores had it.

I have converted the Tom Clark satellite orbit program to C, and have
made it take a file of satellite elements so that you don't have to
modify the program for each satellite.  I used it when the shuttle
was in a high inclination orbit and visible from the Northeast.
