    NOTES:
    --------
    (1) Sole purpose of session was to check out new els for OTV3
        despite very limited visibility due to buildings etc. Satellite
        seen okay running about 34 sec early.
    
    (2) Have a few more satellites to report but not now - Ive had it for
        today :-))
    
    Cheers
    Greg
