Hi All,

The elements that appear in MOLCZAN.TLE for 98001 are now off
by about two minutes.  For the last 8 days I've been using the
following elset that I generated with ELCOR:

98001            5.0  0.0  0.0  5.5 d
1 98001U          99061.17000000  .00000000  00000-0  00000+0 0    01
2 98001   4.5370  59.6780 0080000 225.1993 150.0035  1.00269300    09

I observed it Thursday evening at 8:08pm PST (12 March 4:08 UT)
and its track was dead-on.  Coordinates at seen from 33.7602N,
-118.1295W, 5m:

5h 28m 11s, -3d 4.9' [J2000]

Only saw a few flashes at about magnitude +7.5, but it was enough
to nail its location.  --Rob
