OIG became unreachable via Telnet around midnight UTC 19th/20th, but
returned on-line around 15:00 UTC on the 22nd so you should be able to
reach it now.

All are in my file iridiums.tle, available via the SatEvo satellite page
URL in my .sig, including...
Iridium 24 3.0 0.0 0.0 6.0 d 779 x 777 km
1 24905U 97043C 97356.04816090 .00000020 00000-0 44852-7 0 1197

In fact the orbit of this one is very stable - I can carry a single
orbit through all the elsets over the past month with a maximum residual
of 0.2 second.
Hope you snare the super-ultra-monster ;-)
