Check out:
http://www2.satellite.eu.org/ppas/node6.html
for details on the format.
Also, there is a windows-based program written by Jim Varney that
facilitates PPAS-formatted entry of observations. I'm not sure where it is
available these days, maybe someone else knows?
Finally, check out:
http://www2.satellite.eu.org/sat/program.ro
if you're not sure how much you can 'trust' the program file. It shows
the last observations of each object of the BWGS observing program.
It might be a good idea to read some of the flashing satellites related
pages on the VSOHP too.
Cheers,
