I am not surprised as when I looked at this there were extraneous
characters in the link.  This is due to the ikers and my mail program
incompatibility contesting.  

I like the links to the various satellites though some do seem to be
outdated.  They also have a visual display with a map and earth tracks
for the various birds which is interesting.  

Now If I could find the real-time lightning strike for CONUS I  would
be grateful.  

For others I have heard the Shuttle on the first ham radio flight in
1983 with w5lfl on the bird on a Tempo S1 T sitting at my desk at QWEST
on the 3rd floor of a 11 floor building in downtown Boise with s9 plus
signals on a rubber duck.  It is truly amazing what you can hear from
the various satellites.  

I have passing followed this since in University at Moscow Idaho using
everything from homemade Suttle on lighting  turnstile antennas to ez-al
arrays with stacked log periodic.  Great fun.  



Thank you!
