My impression of the 'simulate' feature of Orbitron was that it would automatically retrieve the old keps..... At least it never gave the the option of using the old. Maybe I imagined it better than it is. Could an Orbitron guru correct me?

But did you use keps from that time period? Today's keps won't work.

Frank,
I simulated that time on Orbitron ( 06 January 2009, 20:20 UTC), and according to Orbitron, neither AO27 or VO52 were over your QTH at the time. I am sending you the screenshot of that particular time via a different email message.
