   I was considering including the orbital elements for
the two "unknown" geosynchronous satellites discovered by
Rainer Kracht in the latest satelem (el960218) file, but was
uncertain as to the utility of doing so.

   If there is sufficient interest in such data, let me know and
I'll start including them as "99xxx" objects.
