    07027A and 07027C were early by 0.1 s and 0.6 s, respectively, relative to
    Mike's epoch 07226.12 elements. 
    
    Both had manoeuvred on each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, from 2007 Jul 17
    through Aug 11, but have not continued that pattern this week, having skipped
    Tuesday Aug 14 and Thursday Aug 16.
    
    Based on the number and magnitude of their manoeuvres during Jul 17 - Aug 11, I
    estimated arrival at the nominal perigee and apogee about Oct 02; that would now
    appear to be delayed until about Oct 06.
